Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §27.4.2.pr
Contrary Action of Guardianship and Settlement of Accounts
Summary
Julian argues that even if an action for the settlement of accounts is brought against the guardian, the counter-action of guardianship should much more be granted.
Notes
- §27.4.2.prdandum est — The implied subject of this gerundive is 'the counter-action' (actio contraria / contrarium iudicium) carried over from the context of the previous section (§27.4.1.8). The logical background is that the necessity of granting the counter-action to the guardian to recover expenses is 'much more' (longe magis) justified when a highly adversarial action for the settlement of accounts (actio rationibus distrahendis) is brought.
