[GAIUS libro quarto ad edictum prouinciale. ] §4.4.25.prIllud non habet dubitationem, quin minor si non debitum soluerit ex ea causa, ex qua iure ciuili repetitio non est danda, sit ei utilis actio ad repetendum: cum et maioribus uiginti quinque annis iustis ex causis dari solet repetitio.
[GAIUS in the fourth book on the Provincial Edict.] There is no doubt that if a minor has paid what was not due for a reason based on which a recovery is not granted under civil law, an analogous action for recovery should be granted to him; since a recovery is usually granted even to persons over twenty-five years of age for just causes.
§4.4.25.1Si talis interueniat iuuenis, cui praestanda sit restitutio, ipso postulante praestari debet aut procuratori eius, cui id ipsum nominatim mandatum sit: qui uero generale mandatum de uniuersis negotiis gerendis alleget, non debet audiri.
If such a young person appears, to whom restitution ought to be granted, it must be granted upon his own petition, or to his procurator to whom this very thing has been specifically mandated; but he who alleges a general mandate for conducting all affairs ought not to be heard.
