Time to Fulfill Condition and Exemption from the Edict

Passage 4523 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Explains that if the heir still has time to comply with the condition, they are not bound by this part of the Edict.

[PAULUS libro quadragesimo quinto ad edictum. ] §29.4.9.prSed et si adhuc parendi condicioni tempus habeat, hac parte edicti non tenetur.
[PAULUS in the forty-fifth book of his Commentary on the Edict] But even if he still has time to comply with the condition, he is not bound by this part of the Edict.

Notes

  1. §29.4.9.prparendi condicioni — The genitive gerund parendi (from pareo, 'to comply with') modifies the noun tempus, taking the dative condicioni as its object because pareo governs the dative.
  2. §29.4.9.prnon tenetur — The passive third-person singular present of teneo ('to bind/hold'), used with the ablative of means/cause hac parte edicti to mean that one is not held legally liable under this provision.
