Scope of Prohibited Property Alienation After Joinder

Passage 1650 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Papinianus explains that regarding the disposal of property after the acceptance of a suit, only voluntary alienations are forbidden, whereas those based on an older cause or a necessary legal obligation are not.

[PAPINIANUS libro septimo quaestionum. ] §10.2.13.prAlienationes enim post iudicium acceptum interdictae sunt dumtaxat uoluntariae, non quae uetustiorem causam et originem iuris habent necessariam.
[PAPINIANUS, Questions, book 7] For alienations made after the acceptance of a suit are forbidden only if they are voluntary, not those which have an older cause and a necessary origin of right.

Notes

  1. 10.2.13.prpost iudicium acceptum — An instance of the dominant participle construction (ab urbe condita construction), where the noun iudicium combined with the perfect passive participle acceptum means 'after the acceptance of the suit'.
  2. 10.2.13.prnon quae — The predicate from the preceding clause is ellipted here; it should be understood as non [alienationes interdictae sunt] quae... ('those alienations which... are not forbidden'). A contrast is drawn between uoluntariae (voluntary) and necessariam (necessary).
