[PAULUS libro undecimo ad edictum. ] §4.3.2.pruel ab eo res seruari poterit,
[PAULUS libro undecimo ad edictum.] or if the property can be preserved from him,
Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §4.3.2.pr
Subsidiary Action for Fraud and Property Recovery
Summary
Paulus explains that the subsidiary nature of the action for fraud applies not only when there is another action against the person, but also when the property can be preserved or recovered from him.
Notes
- §4.3.2.pruel ab eo res seruari poterit — This clause expresses an alternative condition parallel to the preceding si clause (si aduersus eum sit alia actio...). Although poterit is in the future indicative, contrasting with the present subjunctive sit in the previous clause, it functions within the same conditional framework. Here, res refers to the property or assets at risk, and seruari means to be preserved or recovered from loss.
