Theft of Inherited Things Subject to Usufruct

Passage 7932 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Scaevola adds another exception to the rule that inherited things cannot be stolen, namely when a usufruct over the thing belongs to a third party.

[SCAEUOLA libro quarto quaestionum. ] §47.2.70.praut in qua usus fructus alienus est.
[SCAEUOLA in the fourth book of Questions.] or in which a usufruct belongs to another.

Notes

  1. §47.2.70.praut in qua usus fructus alienus est — This clause is connected to "unless perhaps" (nisi forte) in the preceding fragment (§47.2.69.pr), adding another exception. The relative pronoun "qua" refers back to "hereditariae rei" in the previous sentence.
