Boundary Action When a Private Stream Intervenes
Summary
Explains that if a private stream intervenes between adjacent properties, an action for regulating boundaries can be brought.
Notes
- §10.1.6.prfinium regundorum agi potest — agi is the present passive infinitive of the transitive verb agere (to bring an action), used impersonally to mean "an action can be brought". finium regundorum (of regulating boundaries) is a genitive construction with a gerundive agreeing with the noun finium, which is understood as an ellipsis of an ablative noun, such as finium regundorum actione (by an action for regulating boundaries) or finium regundorum iudicio (by a trial for regulating boundaries), forming a legal idiom.
