Application of the Extortion Law to Judicial Companions
Summary
States that a legal action under the law against extortion is also granted against the companions of judges.
Notes
- §48.11.5.prIn comites ... iudicium datur — This is based on the legal idiom `iudicium dare in aliquem` (to grant an action against someone). Here, as the passive voice `iudicium datur` is used, the preposition `in` with the accusative `comites` indicates the target of the prosecution. `comites` (companions) refers to the official or personal retinue accompanying provincial governors, who are here referred to as `iudices` (judges).
