Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §18.1.30.pr

Action for Production and Action on the Sale

Passage 2618 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Ulpian expresses the view that, in addition to the condictio mentioned in the previous section, an action for production (ad exhibendum) and an action on the sale (ex vendito) can also be brought.

[IDEM libro trigensimo secundo ad edictum. ] §18.1.30.prSed ad exhibendum agi posse nihilo minus et ex uendito puto.
[IDEM libro trigensimo secundo ad edictum.] But I think that, nonetheless, an action for production and an action on the sale can be brought.

Notes

  1. §18.1.30.prad exhibendum — A gerundial expression meaning "for production," referring in legal practice to the action for production (actio ad exhibendum) to compel the defendant to produce the property in court.
  2. §18.1.30.prex uendito — An expression consisting of the preposition 'ex' and the ablative of the substantivized neuter perfect participle 'uenditum'. This is a shorthand for the seller's action based on the contract of sale (actio ex uendito or actio uenditi).
  3. §18.1.30.pragi posse — An accusative and infinitive construction serving as the object of the main verb 'puto' (I think). 'agi' is the present passive infinitive of 'ago' (to bring an action) used impersonally, meaning 'that an action can be brought'.
