Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §41.1.42.pr

Unrealized Substitutions and Personal Property

Passage 6672 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Paulus explains that a substitution which has not yet taken effect is outside of one's own property.

[PAULUS libro undecimo ad edictum. ] §41.1.42.prSubstitutio, quae nondum competit, extra bona nostra est.
[PAULUS, from the Commentary on the Edict, book 11] A substitution which is not yet available is outside our property.

Notes

  1. §41.1.42.prcompetit — The verb competere is used here as a legal term meaning 'to accrue' or 'to become available' (of a right or status). Therefore, the relative clause quae nondum competit refers to a substitution (substitutio) that has not yet taken effect or accrued to the heir.
