Action on the Security for a Ward's Property

Passage 7799 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

It explains that an action based on the security for the safety of a pupil's property can only be brought when an action on the guardianship itself can also be brought.

[PAULUS libro uicensimo quarto ad edictum. ] §46.6.1.prCum pupillo rem saluam fore satisdatum sit, agi ex ea tunc potest, cum et tutelae potest.
[PAULUS, On the Edict, Book XXIV] When security has been given to a pupil that his property will be safe, an action can be brought on it at the same time as one can also be brought on the guardianship.

Notes

  1. §46.6.1.prrem saluam fore satisdatum sit — The impersonal passive `satisdatum sit` (when security has been given) is accompanied by the accusative with infinitive clause `rem saluam fore` (that the property will be safe) expressing the content of the security.
  2. §46.6.1.prex ea — The feminine singular ablative pronoun `ea` refers back to the security (`satisdatio`, feminine) or stipulation (`stipulatio`, feminine) implied by the context, meaning 'on the basis of it'.
  3. §46.6.1.prtutelae — The genitive `tutelae` stands for the short expression of `tutelae iudicio` (by the trial of guardianship) or `tutelae actione` (by the action of guardianship), with the passive infinitive `agi` being understood from the preceding clause.
