Actions for Resumed Administration After Tutelage Interruption

Passage 4008 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Explains that if a guardian temporarily interrupts and then resumes his administration after the ward reaches puberty, he is subject to both the action of guardianship and the action for management of affairs.

[GAIUS libro duodecimo ad edictum prouinciale. ] §27.3.14.prSi post pubertatem tempore aliquo licet breuissimo intermiserit administrationem tutor, deinde coeperit gerere, sine ulla dubitatione tam tutelae quam negotiorum gestorum iudicio cum eo agendum est.
[GAIUS in his twelfth book On the Provincial Edict] If a guardian, after puberty, has interrupted his administration for any period of time, however brief, and has then begun to manage, he must without any doubt be sued both by the judgment of guardianship and by that of the management of affairs.

Notes

  1. §27.3.14.prlicet breuissimo — The word `licet` is used as a concessive conjunction ('although', 'even if') modifying the superlative adjective `breuissimo` ('extremely brief'), forming a concessive phrase that qualifies `tempore aliquo` ('some period of time').
  2. §27.3.14.prcum eo agendum est — `agere cum aliquo` is a legal idiom meaning 'to bring an action against someone'. Here, the passive impersonal gerundive construction `agendum est` is used to express objective necessity or obligation ('an action must be brought against him').
