Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §13.3.2.pr

Claims for Land or Possession by a Person Ejected by Force

Passage 2071 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Presents the opinions of Sabinus and Celsus regarding the claim brought by a person ejected from land by force, stating that the owner claims the land itself, while a non-owner claims possession.

[IDEM libro octauo decimo ad Sabinum. ] §13.3.2.prSed et ei, qui ui aliquem de fundo deiecit, posse fundum condici Sabinus scribit, et ita et Celsus, sed ita, si dominus sit qui deiectus condicat: ceterum si non sit, possessionem eum condicere Celsus ait.

[THE SAME, On Sabinus, Book XVIII] But Sabinus also writes that land can be claimed from one who has ejected someone from it by force, and Celsus is of the same opinion, but only if the person ejected who brings the claim is the owner; otherwise, if he is not, Celsus says that he claims possession.

Notes

13.3.2.prei, qui ui — The dative 'ei' is used in connection with the passive infinitive 'condici' to indicate the party against whom the claim (condictio) is brought.
13.3.2.prqui deiectus condicat — The nominative relative pronoun 'qui' implies its antecedent and serves as the subject of the subjunctive 'condicat' in the conditional clause. 'deiectus' is a perfect passive participle meaning 'the person ejected'.
13.3.2.prpossessionem eum condicere — 'eum' is the subject accusative of the infinitive construction (Aci), referring back to the ejected person who is not the owner.
