Absence of Legal Infamy for Persons under Interdicts

Passage 7089 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Ulpian explains that neither the interdict "unde ui" nor any other interdict brings legal infamy upon the person against whom it is issued.

[ULPIANUS libro octauo ad Sabinum. ] §43.16.13.prNeque unde ui neque aliud interdictum famosum est.
[ULPIAN, in the eighth book on Sabinus.] Neither the interdict "unde ui" nor any other interdict involves infamy.

Notes

  1. §43.16.13.prunde ui — The adverbial phrase "unde ui" (whence by force) functions on its own as the name of the specific interdict, without the noun "interdictum". Grammatically, "interdictum" is understood and supplied from the subsequent phrase "aliud interdictum".
  2. §43.16.13.prfamosum — The adjective "famosus" is used here not in its common sense of "famous", but as a technical legal term meaning "involving infamy (infamia)". It specifies that these interdicts, unlike certain actions (actiones famosae), do not entail the legal consequence of infamy for the defeated party.
