[ULPIANUS libro tertio decimo ad edictum. ] §4.7.2.praut alium, qui uexaturus sit aduersarium:
[ULPIANUS, On the Edict, Book XIII] or another person who is likely to harass his adversary:
Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §4.7.2.pr
Fraudulent Substitution of a Vexatious Adversary
Summary
Ulpian addresses the case of substituting another person as a defendant who is likely to harass or vex the opposing party (the plaintiff).
Notes
- §4.7.2.praut alium, qui uexaturus sit aduersarium — This clause functions as an additional condition continuing from Gaius's formulation in the preceding fragment (D. 4.7.1.1: 'opposuerit aduersarium'). The implied antecedent `alium` refers to the newly substituted defendant ('another adversary'), whereas `aduersarium` within the relative clause `qui uexaturus sit aduersarium` refers to the original plaintiff ('us'). Care must be taken with the dual use of the word `aduersarius` to designate opposing parties in different positions.
