This section stipulates that if no place is specified in the order to hold a trial, it is deemed to have been ordered to take place where trials are customarily held, provided it does not disadvantage the litigants.
[ULPIANUS libro quinquagensimo primo ad Sabinum.]
[ULPIANUS, on Sabinus, Book LI.]
Si locus in iubendo iudicare1 non est comprehensus, uidetur eo loco iudicare iussisse2 quo solet iudicari,3 sine incommodo litigantium.
If the place has not been specified in ordering a trial, he is deemed to have ordered the trial to be held in that place where it is customary for a trial to be held, without disadvantage to the litigants.
- 5.1.59.prin iubendo iudicare
The ablative gerund iubendo (from iubeo), governed by the preposition in, takes the present active infinitive iudicare as its object.
- 5.1.59.pruidetur ... iussisse
The main verb uidetur is used in a personal passive construction with the perfect active infinitive iussisse ("he is deemed to have ordered"). Instead of an impersonal construction ("it seems"), the implied subject is the magistrate or the person who ordered the trial.
- 5.1.59.prquo solet iudicari
Within the clause introduced by the relative adverb quo (referring back to eo loco), the passive infinitive iudicari is used impersonally with solet (from solere, "to be customary"), meaning "where it is customary for a trial to be held."
