Notes
- §27.5.5.prEi...competit — The verb competit (third-person singular present) takes a dative (here the antecedent Ei) to mean "to belong to" or "to be available to" in the sense of a legal right or action.
- §27.5.5.prcontrarium iudicium — Refers to the "contrary action" (contrarium iudicium) in quasi-guardianship (protutela). This is a counter-action brought by the manager of affairs to claim reimbursement for expenses, in contrast to the direct action (iudicium directum) brought by the ward or principal.
