Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §28.6.19.pr

Substitution of a Slave after Legatee Death and Legacy

Passage 4291 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

States that the same legal consequence applies even if the slave has been substituted as an heir after the death of the legatee.

[IULIANUS libro trigesimo digestorum. ] §28.6.19.prIdem est et si post mortem legatarii seruus substitutus sit.
[JULIAN, Book 30 of the Digests.] The same is true even if the slave has been substituted after the death of the legatee.

Notes

  1. §28.6.19.prIdem est et si — idem est ('the same is true') refers back to the legal effect in the preceding section (18.1) where the legacy vanishes upon the fulfillment of the substitution. 'et si' is used concessively to mean 'even if'.
  2. §28.6.19.prpost mortem legatarii — 'after the death of the legatee' supposes a situation where the slave, who was the object of the legacy, has first passed to the legatee's heir upon the legatee's death, before the condition of the substitution and freedom is fulfilled.
