Appointment of a Procurator in Public Place Interdicts

Passage 7059 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Explains that a litigant seeking an interdict to prevent private damage caused in a public place has the capacity to appoint a procurator, even though the case concerns a public place.

[IULIANUS libro quadragensimo tertio digestorum. ] §43.8.6.prEi, qui hoc interdicto experitur 'ne quid in loco publico fiat, quo damnum priuato detur', quamuis de loco publico interdicat, nihilo minus procuratoris dandi facultas est.
[JULIANUS from the forty-third book of the Digests] To him who sues under this interdict 'that nothing be done in a public place whereby damage is caused to a private individual', even though he petitions for an interdict concerning a public place, there is nevertheless the power to appoint a procurator.

Notes

  1. §43.8.6.prhoc interdicto experitur — The verb experitur (third-person singular present indicative of experior) means to 'bring an action' or 'litigate', and here it takes the ablative hoc interdicto to mean 'sues by means of this interdict'.
  2. §43.8.6.prprocuratoris dandi — A gerundive construction consisting of the noun procurator (procurator) and the gerundive dandi (genitive of dare), qualifying the noun facultas (power, capacity) in the main clause. It means 'the power of appointing a procurator'.
