Addresses cases where long absence abroad or other similar causes serve as a legal hindrance.

[ULPIANUS, in the ninth book on the Edict.] or if long travel abroad and other similar causes should be a hindrance,

Notes

  1. §3.3.23.primpedimento sint — The dative 'impedimento' is a dative of purpose or effect, expressing 'serving as a hindrance.' The present subjunctive 'sint' agrees with the compound subject and continues the subjunctive mood of the conditional clause from the preceding chunk (§3.3.22.pr, i.e., iungatur, existat).
