Legal Effects of Judicial Recognition of a Child

Passage 3707 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Points out that the effect of the judge's decree of recognition extends to all legal relations, establishing the child's status as a consanguineous sibling to the father's other children.

[IULIANUS libro nono decimo digestorum. ] §25.3.2.prin omnibus causis (quare et fratribus consanguineus erit):
[JULIAN, Digests, book 19.] in all legal relations (wherefore he will also be a consanguineous brother to his brothers):

Notes

  1. §25.3.2.prin omnibus causis — Connects directly to the end of the preceding citation from Ulpian (§25.3.1.16), "esse suum" (to be his own heir), indicating that this status applies in all legal relations or aspects.
  2. §25.3.2.prfratribus consanguineus — "consanguineus" is an adjective meaning "consanguineous" (born of the same father, used here substantively or predicatively), which governs the dative "fratribus". This indicates that a legal relationship as consanguineous siblings is established between the recognized child and the father's existing children.
