Summary

Paulus replies that an ambassador can bring a legal action even during the period of his embassy regarding damage he suffered during that same period.

[IDEM libro tertio responsorum. ] §50.7.10.prPaulus respondit de eo damno, quod legationis tempore legatus passus est, posse eum etiam legationis tempore experiri.
[THE SAME, from the third book of Responses.] Paulus replied that, concerning the damage which an ambassador suffered during the period of his embassy, he can bring a legal action even during the period of his embassy.

Notes

  1. 50.7.10.prexperiri — In legal Latin, experiri (present infinitive of the deponent verb experior) means 'to bring an action' or 'to seek legal remedy.' It functions as the complementary infinitive of posse, with the accusative eum (referring to legatus) acting as its subject in the accusative-and-infinitive construction.
