Actions for Clandestine Tree-Cutting under the Laws

Passage 7969 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Presents the views of Labeo and Trebatius on how actions under both the Lex Aquilia and the Twelve Tables are granted when trees are stealthily cut down.

[PAULUS libro nono ad Sabinum. ] §47.7.1.prSi furtim arbores caesae sint, et ex lege Aquilia et ex duodecim tabularum dandam actionem Labeo ait: sed Trebatius ita utramque dandam, ut iudex in posteriore deducat id quod ex prima consecutus sit et reliquo condemnet.
[PAULUS on Sabinus, book 9] Labeo says that if trees have been stealthily cut down, an action is to be granted both under the Lex Aquilia and under the Twelve Tables; but Trebatius thinks that both are to be granted in such a way that the judge in the subsequent action deducts what was obtained from the first, and condemns for the remainder.

Notes

  1. §47.7.1.prex duodecim tabularum — The noun lege is omitted, to be supplied from the preceding ex lege Aquilia, meaning ex lege duodecim tabularum (under the Law of the Twelve Tables).
  2. §47.7.1.prdandam — The gerundive dandam has the infinitive esse omitted, forming an accusative with infinitive construction (ACI) dependent on Labeo ait and the implied verb of thinking/saying (such as putat or ait) after Trebatius.
  3. §47.7.1.prita... ut... deducat... et... condemnet — The construction ita... ut with the subjunctive does not merely introduce a result clause, but specifies a procedural qualification or condition under which the actions are to be granted ('in such a way that...').
