Partial Release for Stipulations of Specific Objects

Passage 7774 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Explains the possibility of a partial release when a specific object, such as a slave, is the subject of a stipulation, comparing it to a release made to one of the heirs.

[POMPONIUS libro uicensimo sexto ad Sabinum. ] §46.4.10.prSed et si non numerata pecunia, sed certum corpus, ueluti homo in stipulationem deductus est, potest ex parte acceptilatio fieri: quo modo et uni ex heredibus acceptum fieri potest.
[POMPONIUS in the twenty-sixth book on Sabinus.] But also if not counted money, but a specific object, such as a slave, has been brought into the stipulation, a partial release can be made: just as a release can also be made to one of the heirs.

Notes

  1. §46.4.10.prcertum corpus — A technical legal term referring to a 'specific object' (a particular, individual thing, in this case a slave) as contrasted with fungible goods or quantity such as money (numerata pecunia).
  2. §46.4.10.prquo modo et — A conjunctive adverbial phrase introducing the clause 'uni ex heredibus acceptum fieri potest', indicating that the partial release of a specific object is legally possible in the same manner as a release made to one of the heirs.
