Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §34.3.14.pr
Bequests by Debtors with Conditional Obligations
Summary
Explains that the same legal principle applies if a debtor who has a debt subject to a term or condition makes a bequest to their creditor.
Notes
- §34.3.14.prIdem est et si — "The same is true even if...". Here, et functions adverbially (meaning "even") modifying the si clause. This indicates that the legal rule established in the preceding text (§34.3.13.pr)—that a debtor bequeathing to their creditor is deemed to have waived their defense—applies equally to a debtor who enjoys the benefit of a term or condition.
- §34.3.14.prin diem — Meaning "for a specified day" or "subject to a future date." It refers to an obligation whose performance is deferred to a specific future date, contrasted here with sub condicione (subject to a condition).
