Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §3.3.11.pr

Procurator Exemption Dependent on Principal's Liability

Passage 494 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Paulus adds a qualification that the procurator is not compelled to act only if the principal himself can be compelled instead.

[PAULUS libro octauo ad edictum. ] §3.3.11.prsi tamen dominus cogi possit.
[PAULUS, in the eighth book on the Edict.] if, however, the principal can be compelled.

Notes

  1. §3.3.11.prsi tamen dominus cogi possit — This clause introduces a restrictive condition to the rule in the preceding text (Ulpian, D.3.3.10.pr), meaning 'provided, however, that the principal can be compelled'. The present subjunctive possit indicates a hypothetical qualification.
