Principal Benefiting from Release of the Agent

Passage 533 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Explains that if an agent is released from liability by the other party in any manner, this release must benefit the principal.

[GAIUS libro uicensimo secundo ad edictum prouinciale. ] §3.3.50.prQuacumque ratione procurator tuus a me liberatus est, id tibi prodesse debet.
[GAIUS in the twenty-second book on the provincial edict.] In whatever way your agent has been released by me, it ought to benefit you.

Notes

  1. §3.3.50.prQuacumque ratione — The generalizing relative adjective quacumque modifies ratione (ablative of manner/means), forming a concessive adverbial clause meaning 'in whatever way' or 'by whatever means'.
  2. §3.3.50.prid — The neuter singular nominative of the demonstrative pronoun is, referring back to the entire preceding clause ('the fact that your agent has been released') and serving as the subject of the main clause.
