This passage outlines that a defendant in a usufruct lawsuit is acquitted if they lose possession without fraud, but is condemned if they falsely present themselves as the possessor.
[PAULUS libro uicensimo primo ad edictum.]
[PAULUS, in the twenty-first book on the Edict.]
Qui de usu fructu iudicium accepit,1 si desierit possidere sine dolo, absoluetur: quod si liti se obtulit2 et quasi possessor actionem de usu fructu accepit, damnabitur.
He who has accepted a lawsuit concerning a usufruct will be acquitted if he ceases to possess without fraud; but if he has offered himself for the lawsuit and accepted the action concerning the usufruct as if he were the possessor, he will be condemned.
- 7.6.6.priudicium accepit
Meaning 'accepted the lawsuit'. In Roman civil procedure, it refers to the defendant agreeing to join the issue (litis contestatio) in response to the plaintiff's claim. The subsequent phrase 'actionem... accepit' carries the same meaning.
- 7.6.6.prliti se obtulit
The noun 'liti' is in the dative case. It refers to the act of voluntarily presenting oneself as a defendant in a lawsuit. This is used in the context of a 'fictive possessor' (quasi possessor) who undertakes the lawsuit despite not being the actual possessor.
