Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §7.1.14.pr
Duty of Proper Use Despite Lesser Yield in Usufruct
Summary
This section states that the usufructuary must maintain proper use even if the revenue obtained from the property is thereby significantly reduced.
Notes
- §7.1.14.prlicet ... percipiat — The conjunction `licet` takes the present subjunctive `percipiat` to introduce a concessive clause ('even though...'). This brief fragment supplements Ulpian's preceding discussion (13.8) prohibiting the usufructuary from improperly leasing private baths or stables, indicating that proper management must be maintained 'even if' the revenue derived from the property is thereby significantly reduced.
