Jurisdiction by Agreement and Consent of Parties

Passage 882 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

This section establishes that when parties voluntarily submit and consent to a jurisdiction, any judge presiding over a tribunal or holding other jurisdiction possesses jurisdiction over the consenting parties.

[ULPIANUS libro secundo ad edictum. ] §5.1.1.prSi se subiciant aliqui iurisdictioni et consentiant: inter consentientes cuiusuis iudicis, qui tribunali praeest uel aliam iurisdictionem habet, est iurisdictio.
[ULPIANUS in the second book on the Edict.] If any persons submit themselves to a jurisdiction and consent, there is jurisdiction, among those who consent, for any judge who presides over a tribunal or has other jurisdiction.

Notes

  1. §5.1.1.prcuiusuis iudicis ... est iurisdictio — The genitive `cuiusuis iudicis` combined with the verb `est` functions as a possessive genitive (or a genitive modifying the subject `iurisdictio`), expressing that "jurisdiction belongs to any judge" (i.e., any judge has jurisdiction).
  2. §5.1.1.prSi se subiciant ... et consentiant — A conditional clause using the present subjunctive (`subiciant`, `consentiant`) to denote a potential or hypothetical general condition ("if any should submit... and consent").
