Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §17.2.13.pr

Scope of Gains in Clauses Sharing Earnings and Gains

Passage 2515 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Paulus states that even if a clause is added to include both earnings and gains in the partnership, the gains covered are restricted only to those arising from the earnings.

[IDEM libro trigesimo secundo ad edictum. ] §17.2.13.prSed et si adiciatur, ut et quaestus et lucri socii sint, uerum est non ad aliud lucrum, quam quod ex quaestu uenit, hanc quoque adiectionem pertinere.
[THE SAME in his thirty-second book on the Edict] But even if there is added a clause that they are partners of both earnings and gain, it is true that this addition also applies to no other gain than that which arises from earnings.

Notes

  1. §17.2.13.pruerum est ... pertinere — An accusative with infinitive (AcI) construction, with 'hanc quoque adiectionem' as the subject accusative and 'pertinere' as the infinitive, functions as the subject of the impersonal expression 'uerum est'. The verb 'pertinere' takes the preposition 'ad' to mean 'to extend to' or 'to apply to'.
  2. §17.2.13.prnon ad aliud lucrum, quam quod ex quaestu uenit — The phrase 'aliud ... quam quod ...' represents a comparative restriction meaning 'no other ... than that which ...'. The relative pronoun 'quod' is neuter singular nominative, functioning as the subject of 'uenit', and refers back to an implied 'lucrum'.
