Restitution for Minors Beyond Property Loss

Passage 708 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Explains that relief by restoration to the original condition is granted to minors under twenty-five not only when their property is diminished, but also when it is in their interest to avoid lawsuits and expenses.

[IDEM libro decimo ad edictum. ] §4.4.6.prMinoribus uiginti quinque annis subuenitur per in integrum restitutionem non solum, cum de bonis eorum aliquid minuitur, sed etiam cum intersit ipsorum litibus et sumptibus non uexari.
[THE SAME in the tenth book on the Edict.] Relief is granted to those under twenty-five years of age by means of restoration to their original condition, not only when something is lost from their property, but also when it is of importance to themselves not to be harassed by lawsuits and expenses.

Notes

  1. §4.4.6.prsubuenitur — The passive of the dative-governing verb subuenire (to relieve) is used impersonally, with the dative minoribus functioning as the object of the relief.
  2. §4.4.6.printersit — The present subjunctive of the impersonal verb interesse (to be of importance/interest). It takes the genitive (ipsorum) to denote the person concerned, and the infinitive clause (litibus et sumptibus non uexari) as its subject.
