Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §46.8.9.pr

Security Requirement for Various Types of Agents

Passage 7840 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

It regulates that a litigation agent appointed by a guardian must give security, whereas the litigation agent of a city, the director of a corporation, and a curator of property appointed by consent of creditors do not need to do so.

[ULPIANUS libro nono ad edictum. ] §46.8.9.prActor a tutore datus omnimodo cauet: actor ciuitatis nec ipse cauet, nec magister uniuersitatis, nec curator bonis consensu creditorum datus.
[ULPIANUS, On the Edict, Book IX] litigation agent appointed by a guardian gives security in all cases; the litigation agent of a city does not himself give security, nor does the director of a corporation, nor a curator of property appointed with the consent of the creditors.

Notes

  1. §46.8.9.practor — Here, "actor" does not mean a simple "plaintiff," but a "litigation agent" or "representative" appointed by a guardian, city, or other entities.
  2. §46.8.9.prnec ipse cauet, nec magister... nec curator... — The main verb cauet (gives security) appears only in the first clause and is understood as the omitted predicate for the subsequent parallel clauses introduced by the negative conjunctions nec (nec magister..., nec curator...).
