Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §17.1.18.pr

Tacit Consent to a Mandate of Credit Given for Oneself

Passage 2458 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

It is established that a person who tacitly allows another to mandate that credit be extended to him is deemed to have mandated it himself.

[ULPIANUS libro quadragensimo ad Sabinum. ] §17.1.18.prQui patitur ab alio mandari, ut sibi credatur, mandare intellegitur.
[ULPIANUS in his fortieth book on Sabinus.] He who allows a mandate to be given by another that credit be extended to himself is understood to mandate.

Notes

  1. §17.1.18.prut sibi credatur — credatur is the impersonal passive of the intransitive verb credo (to entrust, lend) which governs the dative case, and sibi is its dative object. The reflexive pronoun sibi refers back to the subject of the main clause (Qui) as an indirect reflexive. The clause thus means "that credit be extended to himself (the one who allows it)".
