Notes
- §4.8.5.prcompelletur — The third-person singular future passive indicative of the third-conjugation verb compellere. In contrast to the present tense (possunt) in the preceding section, the future tense is used here to state a legal rule or consequence.
- §4.8.5.prfilius familias — A technical term in Roman law referring to a son under paternal power (patria potestas). It indicates that even if his capacity in private law is restricted, he is still subject to compulsion regarding the undertaking of arbitration.
