[MACER libro secundo de publicis iudiciis. ] §48.2.11.pri tamen omnes, si suam iniuriam exequantur mortemue propinquorum defendent, ab accusatione non excluduntur.
[MACER, On Public Judgments, Book 2] Yet all these persons, if they are prosecuting an injury done to themselves or defending the death of their relatives, are not excluded from bringing an accusation.
§48.2.11.1Liberi libertique non sunt prohibendi suarum rerum defendendarum gratia de facto parentium patronorumue queri, ueluti si dicant ui se a possessione ab his expulsos, scilicet non ut crimen uis eis intendant, sed ut possessionem recipiant.
Children and freedmen must not be prohibited, for the sake of defending their own property, from complaining of an act of their parents or patrons; as, for example, if they should state that they have been forcibly expelled from possession by them—not, indeed, for the purpose of bringing a charge of violence against them, but in order to recover possession.
nam et filius non quidem prohibitus est de facto matris queri, si dicat suppositum ab ea partum, quo magis coheredem haberet, sed ream eam lege Cornelia facere permissum ei non est.
For a son also is certainly not prohibited from complaining of an act of his mother, if he states that a child was substituted by her in order that she might have a co-heir, but he is not permitted to make her a defendant under the Cornelian Law.
§48.2.11.2Ab alio delatum alius deferre non potest: sed eum, qui abolitione publica uel priuata interueniente aut desistente accusatore de reis exemptus est, alius deferre non prohibetur.
A person who has been accused by one individual cannot be accused by another; but where anyone has been exempted from the list of defendants, either through the intervention of a public or private abolition, or because the accuser desisted, another person is not prohibited from accusing him.
