Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §19.3.2.pr
Application of the Action on Estimate When Reward Is Given
Summary
Paul's statement that the action on estimate is applicable even when a reward is involved.
Notes
- §19.3.2.prutilis — The adjective `utilis` here can be interpreted either as referring to the technical legal term "analogous action" (*actio utilis*) or simply as meaning "effective" or "applicable." In this context, it indicates that even if a reward (*merces*) is promised in what is otherwise close to a gratuitous transaction of estimate, the action on estimate itself remains available for resolution, without having to resort to actions on letting or hiring.
