Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §2.14.14.pr

Effects of Agreements Made by Partnership Directors

Passage 380 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Ulpianus states that it is well established that an agreement made by the director of a partnership is effective both to the benefit and to the detriment of the members.

[ULPIANUS libro quarto ad edictum. ] §2.14.14.prItem magistri societatium pactum et prodesse et obesse constat.
[ULPIANUS, On the Edict, book 4] Likewise, it is clear that an agreement made by the director of a partnership is both beneficial and prejudicial.

Notes

  1. §2.14.14.prmagistri — magistri is the genitive singular of the second-declension noun magister, modifying pactum (agreement). Here it refers to the manager of the partnerships (societatium, genitive plural), and modifies pactum, which is the subject accusative of the accusative-with-infinitive (A.c.I.) construction introduced by constat.
  2. §2.14.14.prprodesse et obesse — These are infinitives introduced by constat (it is clear), with prodesse (to benefit) and obesse (to prejudice) connected by the correlative conjunctions et... et... (both... and...). This indicates that the effect of the agreement applies equally to the benefit and the detriment of the partnership.
