Passage 7466 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

This section explains that the general fraud clause added to stipulations does not apply to those specific parts of the contract where express provisions are already made.

[IDEM libro trigensimo sexto quaestionum. ] §45.1.119.prDoli clausula, quae stipulationibus subicitur, non pertinet ad eas partes stipulationis, de quibus nominatim cauetur.
[THE SAME, book thirty-six of Questions.] The fraud clause, which is appended to stipulations, does not apply to those parts of a stipulation which are specifically provided for.

Notes

  1. §45.1.119.prdoli clausula — The 'fraud clause'. This refers to the standard general clause (clausula doli) commonly appended to the end of stipulations to guarantee that no fraud (dolus malus) has been or will be committed.
  2. §45.1.119.prde quibus nominatim cauetur — The antecedent of the relative pronoun `quibus` is `eas partes`, meaning 'about which provisions are specifically (by name) made.' The verb `cauetur` is in the third-person singular passive, used here impersonally.
