Explains that as a penalty for a defendant who fraudulently ceased to possess, the plaintiff is not required to guarantee the cession of actions concerning the property to him.
[PAULUS libro tertio decimo ad Sabinum.]
[PAULUS in the thirteenth book on Sabinus.]
Is qui dolo fecit quo minus possideret1 hoc quoque nomine punitur, quod actor cauere ei non debet2 actiones, quas eius rei nomine habeat, se ei praestaturum.3
He who has by fraud brought it about that he does not possess is punished also on this ground, that the plaintiff is not obliged to guarantee to him that he will cede to him the actions which he has on account of that thing.
- 6.1.69.prdolo fecit quo minus possideret
The construction facere quo minus followed by the subjunctive (here imperfect possideret) means "to act in such a way that ... not". It refers to a situation where the defendant has intentionally (dolo) divested himself of possession of the property.
- 6.1.69.prquod actor cauere ei non debet
The quod clause acts as an appositive clause explaining the content of the preceding demonstrative pronoun hoc in hoc quoque nomine ("namely, that..."). cauere means "to guarantee/provide security to someone" and takes the accusative with infinitive clause se... praestaturum [esse] as its object.
- 6.1.69.practiones, quas eius rei nomine habeat, se ei praestaturum
The subject of the infinitive praestaturum (a future active participle with esse omitted) is the reflexive pronoun se (referring to the subject of the clause, actor), and the dative ei refers to the defendant (is qui...). Here praestare means to cede or transfer the actions (rights of action) concerning the property to the defendant, which would normally occur upon receiving damages to prevent double recovery.
