[IDEM libro undecimo responsorum. ] §44.2.29.prIudicatae quidem rei praescriptio coheredi, qui non litigauit, obstare non potest, nec in seruitutem uidetur peti post rem pro libertate iudicatam nondum ex causa fideicommissi manumissus: sed praetoris oportet in ea re sententiam seruari, quam pro parte uicti praestari non potest: nam et cum alterum ex coheredibus inofficiosi quaestio tenuit aut etiam duobus separatim agentibus alter optinuit, libertates competere placuit, ita tamen, ut officio iudicis indemnitati uictoris futurique manumissoris consulatur.
[THE SAME, Opinions, book eleven] The defense of res judicata indeed cannot block a co-heir who did not litigate, nor is a person who has not yet been manumitted under a trust deemed to be sued for enslavement after a decision has been rendered in favor of freedom; but in a matter which cannot be performed on the part of the defeated person, the decision of the praetor ought to be observed. For even when the challenge of an inofficious testament has bound one of the co-heirs, or when, with two acting separately, one has prevailed, it has been decided that freedoms are valid, provided, however, that by the office of the judge, the indemnity of the victor and of the future manumitter is provided for.
§44.2.29.1Si debitor de dominio rei, quam pignori dedit, non admonito creditore causam egerit et contrariam sententiam acceperit, creditor in locum uicti successisse non uidebitur, cum pignoris conuentio sententiam praecesserit.
If a debtor, without notifying the creditor, brings an action concerning the ownership of the thing which he gave in pledge, and receives an adverse judgment, the creditor will not be deemed to have succeeded to the position of the defeated party, since the agreement of pledge preceded the judgment.
