Action Against Guardian's Heir and Curators' Release

Passage 4017 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Discusses how bringing an action on guardianship against a guardian's heir neither releases the curator of the same ward by operation of law nor grants him the plea of res judicata, with the same applying to the heirs of magistrates.

[IDEM libro nono responsorum. ] §27.3.23.prConuento herede tutoris iudicio tutelae curatorem eiusdem neque ipso iure liberatum uideri neque exceptionem rei iudicatae ei dandam: idemque in heredibus magistratuum obseruandum.
[THE SAME, Opinions, Book 9] When the heir of a guardian has been sued in an action on guardianship, the curator of the same ward is deemed neither to be released by operation of law, nor should the plea of res judicata be granted to him; and the same rule is to be observed in the case of the heirs of magistrates.

Notes

  1. §27.3.23.prConuento herede tutoris iudicio tutelae — An independent ablative absolute construction. *conuento* is the perfect passive participle of *convenire* ('to sue, summon'), agreeing with *herede* ('heir'). *iudicio tutelae* ('in the action on guardianship') functions as an ablative of instrument or sphere.
  2. §27.3.23.pruideri neque exceptionem rei iudicatae ei dandam — Accusative and infinitive (AcI) construction dependent on an implied verb of ruling or opinion (such as *respondit* or *placuit*), typical of juristic responses. *uideri* is a passive infinitive ('to be seen/deemed'), and *dandam* is a gerundive of obligation with *esse* omitted ('must be granted'), both agreeing with the subject accusative *curatorem*.
