Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §16.2.13.pr

Inapplicability to Other Claims of a Set-Off Specially Designated

Passage 2391 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

The author approves Labeo's view that if a set-off is specially designated for a particular claim, it cannot be raised in other claims.

[IDEM libro sexagensimo sexto ad edictum. ] §16.2.13.prQuod Labeo ait, non est sine ratione, ut, si cui petitioni specialiter destinata est compensatio, in ceteris non obiciatur.
[THE SAME, On the Edict, Book LXVI.] What Labeo says is not without reason: namely, that if a set-off has been specially designated for a certain claim, it should not be opposed in other claims.

Notes

  1. §16.2.13.prQuod Labeo ait — The clause introduced by the relative pronoun `quod` (including its antecedent) functions as the subject of the main clause ("what Labeo says").
  2. §16.2.13.prut... obiciatur — The `ut` clause, with the subjunctive present passive `obiciatur`, functions as an appositive (noun) clause explaining the content of `Quod Labeo ait` ("what Labeo says").
  3. §16.2.13.prcui petitioni — Because it directly follows the conditional particle `si`, the prefix `ali-` is dropped from `alicui` (the feminine dative singular of the indefinite adjective `aliqui`), leaving simply `cui` modifying `petitioni` (dative singular of the feminine noun `petitio`).
