Validity of Agreement Placing Risk on Buyer in Conditional Sale

Passage 2743 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Ulpian's view that in a conditional sale, an agreement stipulating that the property is to be kept at the buyer's risk is valid.

[ULPIANUS libro octauo disputationum. ] §18.6.10.prSi in uenditione condicionali hoc ipsum conuenisset, ut res periculo emptoris seruaretur, puto pactum ualere.
[ULPIAN, in Book 8 of the Disputations.] If in a conditional sale this very thing had been agreed upon, namely that the property should be kept at the risk of the buyer, I think that the agreement is valid.

Notes

  1. §18.6.10.prhoc ipsum ... ut res periculo emptoris seruaretur — The phrase 'hoc ipsum' is in apposition with the 'ut' clause, explaining the specific content of what was agreed ('conuenisset'). 'periculo' is an ablative of manner or circumstance ('at the risk of the buyer').
  2. §18.6.10.prpactum ualere — An accusative with infinitive construction functioning as the object of 'puto' ('I think'). The subject accusative is 'pactum' (agreement) and the infinitive is 'ualere' (to be valid).
