Treasury Assignee Cannot Claim Non-Stipulated Interest

Passage 3203 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Modestinus replies that an assignee of actions from the treasury cannot claim non-stipulated interest for the period after the treasury has recovered its debt.

[IDEM libro octauo decimo responsorum. ] §22.1.43.prHerennius Modestinus respondit eius temporis quod cessit, postquam fiscus debitum percepit, eum, qui mandatis a fisco actionibus experitur, usuras quae in stipulatum deductae non sunt petere non posse.
[THE SAME, in the eighteenth book of Responses.] Herennius Modestinus replied that a person who brings an action by virtue of actions assigned by the treasury cannot claim interest which has not been brought into a stipulation, for the period which has elapsed after the treasury recovered the debt.

Notes

  1. §22.1.43.preius temporis — The genitive phrase `eius temporis` (along with the following relative clause `quod cessit...`), although placed at the beginning of the clause, modifies `usuras` ("interest for the period...").
  2. §22.1.43.prmandatis a fisco actionibus experitur — The deponent verb `experiri` ("to bring an action") takes the ablative to express the means. Thus, `mandatis ... actionibus` ("by actions assigned by the treasury") is an ablative of means.
