Total Invalidation of Restricted Appointments of Tutors

Passage 3759 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Explains that if a guardian is appointed with forbidden restrictions on specific assets or lawsuits, the entire appointment becomes completely invalid.

[POMPONIUS libro septimo decimo ad Sabinum. ] §26.2.13.pret si datus fuerit, tota datio nihil ualebit,
[POMPONIUS, from the seventeenth book on Sabinus.] and if one has been so appointed, the entire appointment will have no validity,

Notes

  1. §26.2.13.prdatus fuerit — This represents the condition "if a guardian (tutor) has been appointed" with the restrictions mentioned in the preceding section (26.2.12.pr). The verb is in the future perfect passive, indicating a completed action in the future within the conditional clause.
  2. §26.2.13.prnihil ualebit — Although nihil is an accusative noun, it functions here as an adverbial accusative ('not at all') with the intransitive verb ualebit, meaning 'will have no validity at all.'
