Concurrent Penal Actions for the Same Money

Passage 7345 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

States the principle that when multiple penal actions concerning the same sum of money concur, one does not extinguish the other.

[ULPIANUS libro septimo decimo ad edictum. ] §44.7.60.prNumquam actiones poenales de eadem pecunia concurrentes alia aliam consumit.
[ULPIAN, Commentary on the Edict, Book XVII] Penal actions concerning the same sum of money, when concurring, never consume one another.

Notes

  1. §44.7.60.pralia aliam consumit — The singular forms alia (nominative feminine singular) and aliam (accusative feminine singular) are used distributively in relation to the plural subject actiones poenales, and the verb consumit is accordingly in the third person singular. This is an idiomatic Latin construction expressing reciprocal action ('one consumes another').
