Prosecution of Appeals by Heirs of Deceased Guardians

Passage 8491 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

This section provides that if a tutor or curator dies after appealing, his heir must prosecute the appeal before rendering the accounts, whereas after the accounts are rendered, neither the tutor nor the curator is required to prove the merits of the appeal.

[IDEM libro quinto iuris epitomarum. ] §49.1.27.prTutor si in negotio pupilli prouocauerit uel curator in adulti, heres eius, antequam reddat rationes, appellationis causam persequi debet: nam post redditas rationes nec ipse tutor nec curator appellationis merita probare cogitur.
[THE SAME, Epitome of Law, Book V.] If a tutor has appealed in a matter concerning his pupil, or a curator in a matter concerning an adult, his heir, before he renders the accounts, must prosecute the cause of the appeal; for after the accounts have been rendered, neither the tutor himself nor the curator is compelled to prove the merits of the appeal.

Notes

  1. §49.1.27.prcurator in adulti — By parallel with the preceding phrase `tutor si in negotio pupilli prouocauerit`, the noun `negotio` and the verb `prouocauerit` are understood after `in adulti` ("or a curator [has appealed] in [a matter] of an adult").
  2. §49.1.27.prantequam reddat rationes — The subject of the subjunctive present `reddat` is `heres eius` (his heir) from the main clause. It indicates that the heir inherits the obligation to render the accounts (`rationes`).
  3. §49.1.27.prpost redditas rationes — The preposition `post` governs the noun `rationes` with the perfect passive participle `redditas` in an "ab urbe condita" construction (dominant participle), meaning "after the accounts have been rendered," rather than "after the rendered accounts."
