Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §24.3.13.pr
Personal Nature of Competence Privilege and Heir Exclusion
Summary
This section explains that the privilege of limited liability is personal to the husband and therefore does not transfer to his heirs.
Notes
- §24.3.13.prpersonale — Nominative neuter singular of the adjective personalis, -e, acting as a predicate to the subject tale beneficium (referring to the privilege mentioned in the preceding section). It is a legal term indicating that the right or privilege is tied strictly to the individual and is not inheritable.
- §24.3.13.prcum persona — The preposition cum with the ablative noun persona. In this context, rather than an abstract concept of 'personality', it refers concretely to the natural person (the husband, maritus, from the preceding text), meaning 'together with the physical or legal existence of that person.'
