Limits on Lawsuits Between Two General Procurators

Passage 530 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Explains that when a principal appoints two general procurators, neither is deemed to have the mandate to demand money from the other unless specifically ordered by the principal.

[IULIANUS libro quarto ad Urseium Ferocem. ] §3.3.47.prQui duos procuratores omnium rerum suarum reliquit, nisi nominatim praecepit ut alter ab altero pecuniam petat, non uidetur mandatum utrilibet eorum dedisse.
[JULIANUS in the fourth book on Urseius Ferox.] He who left two procurators of all his affairs, unless he has specifically ordered that the one should demand money from the other, is not deemed to have given the mandate to either of them.

Notes

  1. §3.3.47.prutrilibet — Dative singular of uterlibet ('either of the two'). In combination with the negative particle non, it expresses that he is not deemed to have given the mandate to 'either' of them.
  2. §3.3.47.prmandatum — Accusative singular of the noun mandatum (mandate, authorization), serving as the direct object of the infinitive dedisse. Contextually, it refers to the authorization to perform the action described in the preceding ut-clause ('that one should demand money from the other').
