Agent Duty to Provide Security for Their Own Acts

Passage 2448 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

States that the agent must also provide security (guarantee) for their own actions in the execution of the mandate.

[PAULUS libro trigensimo secundo ad edictum. ] §17.1.9.prDe tuo etiam facto cauere debes.
[PAULUS libro trigensimo secundo ad edictum.] You must also give security for your own act.

Notes

  1. §17.1.9.prcauere — The verb cavere in this legal context means "to give security" or "to provide a guarantee," rather than "to beware" or "to take care." It continues the discussion of security (cautum) from the previous fragment (17.1.8.10), referring to the agent's obligation to secure their own acts.
