On the scope of fruits to be restored by the heir of an insane person to the next-in-line successors, the deductible expenses, and the differing rules on interest for fruits gathered before and after the petition for the inheritance.
[IDEM libro secundo responsorum.]
[THE SAME in his second book of Opinions.]
Heres furiosi substituto uel sequentis gradus cognato fructus medii temporis, quibus per curatorem furiosus locupletior factus uidetur,1 praestabit: exceptis uidelicet impensis,2 quae circa eandem substantiam tam necessariae quam utiliter factae sunt. sed et si quid circa furiosum necessarie fuerit expensum, et hoc excipiatur, nisi alia sufficiens substantia est furioso, ex qua sustentari potest.
The heir of an insane person shall deliver to the substitute heir or to the cognate of the next degree the fruits of the intermediate period, by which the insane person seems to have been made richer through his curator; provided, of course, that those expenses which were incurred, whether necessary or useful, around the same property are excepted. But also, if any necessary expense has been made for the insane person himself, this too shall be excepted, unless there is other sufficient property for the insane person from which he can be supported.
Fructuum post hereditatem petitam3 perceptorum usurae non praestantur: diuersa ratio est eorum, qui ante actionem hereditatis illatam percepti hereditatem auxerunt.
Interest is not paid on fruits gathered after the petition for the inheritance; the rule is different for those fruits which, being gathered before the action for the inheritance was brought, increased the inheritance.
- 5.3.51.prquibus per curatorem furiosus locupletior factus uidetur
The relative pronoun in the ablative, quibus, refers to the antecedent fructus, denoting means or cause. It indicates that the obligation to restore exists only to the extent that the insane person actually became richer from those fruits through the administration of the curator.
- 5.3.51.prexceptis uidelicet impensis
The phrase exceptis impensis forms an ablative absolute construction. Accompanied by uidelicet ('namely', 'of course'), it introduces the condition of 'necessary and useful expenses' that must be deducted from the amount of fruits to be restored.
- 5.3.51.1post hereditatem petitam
A so-called 'ab urbe condita' construction where the preposition post is followed by the accusative noun hereditatem and its perfect passive participle petitam ('after the inheritance has been petitioned'). The subsequent phrase ante actionem ... illatam ('before the action was brought') shares the same structure.
