Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §46.1.43.pr

Sureties in Distinct Stipulations Not Becoming Co-Sureties

Passage 7591 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Pomponius explains that even if the money debt is the same, if it arises from different stipulations, the respective sureties do not become co-sureties.

[POMPONIUS libro septimo ex uariis lectionibus. ] §46.1.43.prSi a Titio stipulatus fideiussorem te acceperim, deinde eandem pecuniam ab alio stipulatus alium fideiussorem accipiam, confideiussores non erunt, quia diuersarum stipulationum fideiussores sunt.
[POMPONIUS, in the seventh book of Various Readings.] If, after having entered into a stipulation with Titius, I accept you as a surety, and then, having stipulated for the same money from another, I accept another surety, they will not be co-sureties, because they are sureties for different stipulations.

Notes

  1. §46.1.43.prstipulatus — The perfect participle of the deponent verb stipulor, used with active meaning ("having stipulated"), modifying the subject of the main clause (the creditor).
  2. §46.1.43.prconfideiussores — Meaning "co-sureties." Even if the debt or money to be secured is the same, if the underlying stipulations to which the guarantees are attached are separate, the respective sureties do not stand in the legal relationship of co-sureties.
