Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §48.22.10.pr

Prohibition of Restricting Necessary Expenses for Those under House Arrest

Passage 8449 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Marcianus states that even if someone is sentenced not to leave their home, they cannot be forbidden from making necessary expenditures.

[MARCIANUS libro secundo publicorum iudiciorum. ] §48.22.10.prnec tamen, ne necessarias impensas faciat.
[MARCIANUS, On Public Trials, Book II] And yet, [a governor cannot sentence someone] not to make necessary expenditures.

Notes

  1. §48.22.10.prnec tamen, ne necessarias impensas faciat — The predicate 'potest damnare' from the preceding chunk (§48.22.9.pr: 'potest praeses quendam damnare, ne...') is understood to be omitted here. Thus, the syntax is reconstructed as 'nec tamen [potest damnare], ne...', meaning 'and yet [he cannot sentence someone] not to make necessary expenditures,' which practically allows the person to make necessary outlays.
