Ulpian argues that if a usufructuary is ready to surrender their usufruct, they cannot be compelled to rebuild the house even if they would otherwise be liable, and they should be acquitted by the judge even after a trial has begun.
[ULPIANUS libro quinquagensimo primo ad edictum.]
[ULPIANUS in his fifty-first book on the Edict.]
Cum fructuarius paratus est usum fructum derelinquere, non est cogendus domum reficere, in quibus casibus1 et usufructuario hoc onus incumbit. sed et post acceptum contra eum iudicium2 parato fructuario derelinquere3 usum fructum dicendum est absolui eum debere a iudice.
When the usufructuary is ready to surrender the usufruct, he is not to be compelled to rebuild the house, even in those cases in which this burden falls upon the usufructuary. But even after an action has been accepted against him, if the usufructuary is ready to surrender the usufruct, it must be said that he ought to be acquitted by the judge.
- 7.1.64.prin quibus casibus
The relative pronoun 'qui' is used adjectivally to modify 'casibus' ('in which cases'). Contextually, it refers to those situations where the burden of repair would normally fall on the usufructuary, and the particle 'et' functions here to emphasize or add concession ('even in those cases').
- 7.1.64.prpost acceptum contra eum iudicium
A noun-participle construction ('acceptum iudicium') governed by the preposition 'post', comparable to the 'ab urbe condita' construction. Structurally, it translates to 'after the acceptance of the trial against him', referring to the formal stage of joinder of issue (litis contestatio) or acceptance of the trial in Roman civil procedure.
- 7.1.64.prparato fructuario derelinquere
An ablative absolute construction consisting of the adjective/participle 'parato' and the noun 'fructuario', expressing a conditional meaning ('if the usufructuary is ready to surrender'). The infinitive 'derelinquere' complements 'parato', specifying what he is ready to do.
