Exclusion of Action for Corrupting a Slave against Parents

Passage 5880 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Paulus states, following the principle that infamous actions are not allowed against parents or patrons, that an action for corrupting a slave (actio servi corrupti) will not be brought against them either.

[PAULUS libro undecimo ad edictum. ] §37.15.6.prnec serui corrupti agetur,
[PAULUS, from the eleventh book on the Edict.] nor will an action for corrupting a slave be brought,

Notes

  1. §37.15.6.prserui corrupti agetur — The noun `actio` is omitted here, referring to the legal term `actio servi corrupti` (action for corrupting a slave). The verb `agetur` is the future passive third-person singular of `ago` (to bring an action), with the implied `actio` serving as its grammatical subject.
