Time Limit for Appeal in Suspected Guardian Cases

Passage 8504 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

It rules that an appeal must be made within three days for a person who brought an action against a suspected guardian and, having lost, appeals.

[PAULUS libro singulari regularum. ] §49.5.3.prIntra triduum appellare licet ei, qui de suspecto tutore egit uictusque appellat.
[PAULUS, Rules in One Book] An appeal is allowed within three days to one who has brought an action concerning a suspected guardian and, having been defeated, appeals.

Notes

  1. §49.5.3.pruictusque — The perfect passive participle of vincere (to defeat) in the nominative singular masculine, modifying the relative pronoun qui, expressing circumstance or time ('having been defeated' or 'and is defeated').
  2. §49.5.3.pregit uictusque appellat — Two verbs sharing the subject qui, namely egit (perfect of agere, 'brought an action') and appellat (present of appellare, 'appeals'), are joined by the conjunction -que. While the main clause contains appellare licet ('it is permitted to appeal'), the relative clause with appellat specifies the person who actually seeks to appeal.
