§7.1.4.pr

​Usus fructus in multis casibus pars dominii est, et exstat, quod1 uel praesens uel ex die2 dari potest.

Syntax notes2 items
  1. 7.1.4.prexstat, quod

    The conjunction quod introduces a noun clause expressing a fact, which functions as the subject of the verb exstat ("it is manifest" or "it stands out").

  2. 7.1.4.pruel praesens uel ex die

    The neuter singular adjective praesens (immediate, present) and the prepositional phrase ex die (from a certain day, with a suspensive term) are contrasted by uel... uel..., indicating that a usufruct can be granted (dari) under either condition.
