Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §46.3.85.pr

Requirements of Full Amount and Due Date for Payment

Passage 7740 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

It explains that for an obligation to be paid in full, it must satisfy not only the correct amount but also the specified date.

[CALLISTRATUS libro primo edicti monitorii. ] §46.3.85.prSolidum non soluitur non minus quantitate quam die.
[CALLISTRATUS, in the first book on the Warning Edict.] An obligation is not paid in full, no less in respect of the date than of the amount.

Notes

  1. §46.3.85.prquantitate quam die — Both 'quantitate' and 'die' are ablatives of specification (or respect), qualifying in what regard 'a full payment is not made' (solidum non soluitur). Through the comparative construction 'non minus... quam...' (no less... than...), it indicates that a failure in respect of the date, just like a deficiency in the amount, results in an incomplete performance.
