Assessment of Damages for Alluvion and Evicted Rights

Passage 3096 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

This passage discusses the point of time for evaluation when land increases by alluvion, and the criteria for assessing damages when a usufruct or servitude is evicted.

[PAULUS libro quinto ad Sabinum. ] §21.2.15.prsed si quid postea alluuione accessit, tempus quo accedit inspiciendum.
[PAULUS, Commentary on Sabinus, Book Five.] but if any addition has accrued afterwards by alluvion, the time at which it accrues must be considered.
§21.2.15.1Si usus fructus euincatur, pro bonitate fructuum aestimatio facienda est.
If a usufruct is evicted, the valuation must be made according to the quality of the fruits.
sed et si seruitus euincatur, quanti minoris ob id praedium est, lis aestimanda est.
But also if a servitude is evicted, the damages must be assessed at the amount by which the property is worth less because of it.

Notes

  1. §21.2.15.prtempus quo accedit inspiciendum — The copula est is omitted after inspiciendum, which is a gerundive expressing obligation or necessity agreeing with the subject tempus. The relative clause quo accedit ('at which it accrues') modifies tempus.
  2. §21.2.15.1quanti minoris — A genitive of price or value. It expresses the amount by which the property (praedium) is worth less (minoris) because of the eviction (ob id), serving as the measure for the assessment of the damages (lis aestimanda est).
