Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §28.7.5.pr

Fulfillment of Conjunctive and Disjunctive Conditions

Passage 4325 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

This section rules on the requirements for fulfilling conditions when multiple conditions are imposed on an heir either jointly or disjunctively.

[PAULUS libro secundo ad Sabinum. ] §28.7.5.prSi heredi plures condiciones coniunctim datae sint, omnibus parendum est, quia unius loco habentur, si disiunctim sint, cuilibet.
[PAULUS, in the second book on Sabinus.] If several conditions have been imposed on an heir jointly, all must be complied with, because they are held in the place of a single condition; if they are imposed disjunctively, any one of them will suffice.

Notes

  1. §28.7.5.promnibus parendum est — omnibus is a dative feminine plural, referring to the preceding condiciones. It is in the dative because the intransitive verb pareo (to obey/comply) governs the dative case. parendum est is an impersonal passive gerundive construction denoting obligation.
  2. §28.7.5.prunius loco habentur — unius is the genitive feminine singular with the noun condicionis omitted (unius condicionis). loco habere is an idiomatic expression meaning 'to hold in the place of' or 'to regard as equivalent to'.
  3. §28.7.5.prcuilibet — The dative singular of the indefinite pronoun quilibet (any one you please). In the abbreviated clause si disiunctim sint [datae], cuilibet [parendum est], it takes the dative case as required by the governed but omitted verb pareo.
