Paulus points out an exception that the owner can impose a servitude if it does not worsen the condition of the usufructuary, providing the restriction on building height as an example.
[PAULUS libro tertio ad Sabinum.]
[PAULUS in the third book on Sabinus.]
nisi per quam1 deterior fructuarii condicio non fiat, ueluti si talem seruitutem uicino concesserit ius sibi non esse altius tollere.2
except such a servitude by which the condition of the usufructuary does not become worse, as for example, if he should grant such a servitude to a neighbor that he has no right to build higher.
- 7.1.16.prnisi per quam
The conjunction nisi introduces an exception to the rule stated in the preceding chunk by Ulpianus (that the owner cannot impose a servitude). The relative pronoun quam is feminine singular, referring back to seruitutem (servitude) in the previous sentence.
- 7.1.16.prius sibi non esse altius tollere
An accusative with infinitive construction that explains the specific content of the preceding talem seruitutem (such a servitude). The pronoun sibi is a reflexive dative referring to the subject of the main clause (the owner), and altius tollere (to build higher) is a formulaic expression used in servitudes restricting building height.
