Tutor's Contrary Action Prior to Payment of Incurred Debt

Passage 4025 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

States that if a tutor binds himself for his pupil, he can bring the contrary action even before making the actual payment.

[PAULUS libro quinto ad Plautium. ] §27.4.6.prSi tutor pro pupillo se obligauit, habet contrariam actionem et antequam soluat.

[PAULUS, On Plautius, book 5] If a tutor has bound himself on behalf of his pupil, he has the contrary action even before he pays.

Notes

§27.4.6.pret antequam soluat — The particle et here functions adverbially with the sense of "even". The present subjunctive soluat is used in the clause introduced by antequam to denote an anticipated but not yet realized action.
