Condictio Against an Impubes for Theft

Passage 7885 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Paulus cites Julianus to state that it is likewise possible to bring a condictio (action for recovery) against an impubes who has committed theft.

[PAULUS libro nono ad Sabinum. ] §47.2.24.prNec minus etiam condici ei posse Iulianus scripsit.
[PAULUS in the ninth book on Sabinus.] Julianus wrote that a condictio can no less also be brought against him.

Notes

  1. §47.2.24.prcondici — The present passive infinitive of the verb `condicere` (to bring a condictio / action for recovery). It is used impersonally in the passive with the dative `ei` (against him, i.e., the impubes), forming part of the accusative-and-infinitive construction dependent on `scripsit`.
  2. §47.2.24.prNec minus — An adverbial phrase meaning "no less" or "likewise". It links this statement to the preceding fragment (§47.2.23.pr), indicating that just as other actions (such as the actio furti or Lex Aquilia) can be brought against an impubes, so too can a condictio.
