Identity of the Object in Dispute and Res Judicata

Passage 7225 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Paulus points out that when determining whether the exception of res judicata applies, it must be examined whether the object under litigation is the same.

[PAULUS libro septuagesimo ad edictum. ] §44.2.12.prCum quaeritur, haec exceptio noceat nec ne, inspiciendum est, an idem corpus sit,
[PAULUS, on the edict, book seventy.] When it is asked whether this exception is harmful or not, it must be examined whether it is the same object,

Notes

  1. §44.2.12.prhaec exceptio noceat nec ne — An indirect question clause introduced by the verb `quaeritur` (it is asked), using the subjunctive present `noceat`. The phrase `nec ne` forms the negative alternative ("or not") in a double indirect question.
  2. §44.2.12.prinspiciendum est, an idem corpus sit — `inspiciendum est` is an impersonal passive periphrastic conjugation expressing obligation ("it must be examined"). It is followed by the indirect question clause `an... sit` introduced by `an` ("whether"), which functions as the logical object of the examination.
