Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §6.3.3.pr

Extension of Action in Rem to Lessees for a Term

Passage 1171 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Paulus states that the same legal protection applies if individuals have leased land for a limited term, provided that the lease period has not yet expired.

[PAULUS libro uicensimo primo ad edictum. ] §6.3.3.prIdem est et si ad tempus habuerint conductum nec tempus conductionis finitum sit.
[PAULUS on the Edict, book 21] The same is true also if they have held the land under lease for a time, and the term of the lease has not expired.

Notes

  1. 6.3.3.prhabuerint conductum — A combination of habuerint (perfect subjunctive, third-person plural) and the perfect participle conductum (used substantively or modifying an implied masculine noun like ager), indicating the state of holding land under a lease.
  2. 6.3.3.pret si — The conjunction et here functions as 'also' or 'even', modifying the conditional clause introduced by si to mean 'also if' or 'even if'.
