Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §6.1.40.pr
Invalid Pledge and Ineffective Sale by Creditor
Summary
Gaius' explanation of why a woman can claim back a pledged tract of land; the sale by the creditor is deemed invalid because no valid pledge existed.
Notes
- §6.1.40.prquia nullum pignus creditor uendidisse uidetur — Explains the reason for the conclusion in the preceding fragment by Ulpian (§6.1.39.1). The passive verb "uidetur" is used personally ("is considered to") with the infinitive "uendidisse". The clause means that the creditor is not deemed to have sold a valid pledge, as the underlying transaction was void under the Senatus Consultum Velleianum.
