Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §50.17.158.pr
Loss of Pledge by Permitting Sale of Collateral
Summary
It states the legal principle that a creditor who permits the pledged property to be sold thereby relinquishes their pledge over it.
Notes
- §50.17.158.pruenire — The word uenire here is not the infinitive of venīre (to come), but rather vēnīre (the present infinitive of vēneō, meaning 'to be sold'). Therefore, the accusative with infinitive 'rem uenire' means 'that the thing be sold'.
