Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §46.6.11.pr

Breach of Guardian Duties and Security Activation

Passage 7809 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Neratius explains that the stipulation for securing the ward's property is activated if the obligations arising from guardianship are not performed, noting that even if the physical property is safe, it cannot be considered safe if the required payments are not made.

[NERATIUS libro quarto membranarum. ] §46.6.11.prCum rem saluam fore pupillo cauetur, committitur stipulatio, si, quod ex tutela dari fieri oportet, non praestetur: nam et si salua ei res sit, ob id non est, quia, quod ex tutela dari fieri oportet, non soluitur.
[NERATIUS, Parchments, Book IV] When security is given that the property of the ward will be safe, the liability under the stipulation arises if what ought to be given or done on account of the guardianship is not performed; for even if his property is safe, it is not safe on this account, because what ought to be given or done on account of the guardianship is not paid.

Notes

  1. §46.6.11.prcommittitur — As a legal technical term, it means that the condition specified in the stipulation (such as non-performance) has been met, and the right to claim the security or penalty has arisen (the liability is activated).
  2. §46.6.11.prob id non est — Based on the preceding clause `salua ei res sit`, this is interpreted by supplying the ellipsis: `salua [ei res] non est` (it is not the case that the property is safe for him).
