Lawsuits Against Curators During Their Administration

Passage 3861 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Paulus states that legal action can be brought against both a curator and a person acting as a tutor even while their administration is still in progress.

[PAULUS libro uicesimo quarto ad edictum. ] §26.7.26.prCum curatore et pro tutore etiam manente administratione agi potest.
[PAULUS in his twenty-fourth book on the Edict.] An action can be brought against a curator, and also against one acting as a tutor, even while their administration is still ongoing.

Notes

  1. §26.7.26.prpro tutore — This phrase functions as a nominal expression connected by 'et' after the preposition 'cum', meaning 'one acting as a tutor' (pro tutore gerens). Unlike a regular tutor, such a person can be sued during the course of their administration.
  2. §26.7.26.prmanente administratione — An ablative absolute consisting of the present participle 'manente' and the noun 'administratione', meaning 'while the administration is still ongoing'. Accompanied by the adverb 'etiam' (even), it emphasizes the contrast with actions against regular tutors, which can only be brought after the administration has ended.
