Summary

It states that once a tutelage is terminated, any legal investigation into a suspected tutor is dissolved, even if the proceeding had already been initiated prior to the termination.

[IDEM libro quinto responsorum. ] §26.10.11.prPost finitam tutelam cognitio suspecti tutoris quamuis pridem recepta soluitur.
[THE SAME, Opinions, book 5.] After the tutelage has ended, the investigation of a suspected tutor, even if it had been previously undertaken, is dissolved.

Notes

  1. §26.10.11.prPost finitam tutelam — A combination of the preposition post with the noun tutelam and its modifying perfect passive participle finitam (both in the accusative case). Similar to the ab urbe condita construction, it expresses the completion of an action, meaning 'after the termination of the tutelage.'
  2. §26.10.11.prcognitio suspecti tutoris — The phrase suspecti tutoris (of a suspected tutor) functions as an objective genitive dependent on the noun cognitio (investigation, trial), indicating the object of the proceeding.
  3. §26.10.11.prquamuis pridem recepta — The perfect passive participle recepta (nominative singular feminine, agreeing with the subject cognitio) is introduced by the concessive conjunction quamuis (although, even if). The adverb pridem means 'previously' (i.e., before the tutelage ended).
