Remedies without Security and Stipulations for Money

Passage 1343 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

This text discusses the heir's remedies when property is delivered under a usufruct without security, and specifies the two events (death and loss of status) to be included in the security for a usufruct of money.

[ULPIANUS libro septuagensimo nono ad edictum. ] §7.9.7.prSi usus fructus nomine re tradita satisdatum non fuerit, Proculus ait posse heredem rem uindicare, et si obiciatur exceptio de re usus fructus nomine tradita, replicandum erit.
[ULPIANUS in the seventy-ninth book on the Edict.] If, after a thing has been delivered under the name of a usufruct, security has not been given, Proculus says that the heir can claim the thing back; and if the "exception of a thing delivered under the name of a usufruct" is opposed, a replication must be made.
quae sententia habet rationem: sed et ipsa stipulatio condici poterit.
This opinion is reasonable; but the stipulation itself can also be sued for by condictio.
§7.9.7.1Cum usus fructus pecuniae legatus esset, exprimi debent hi duo casus in stipulatione: 'cum morieris aut capite minueris, dari': idcirco hi duo soli casus, quoniam pecuniae usus aliter amitti non potest quam his casibus.
When a usufruct of money has been bequeathed, these two cases must be expressed in the stipulation: 'to be given when you die or suffer loss of status'; therefore, only these two cases, since the use of money cannot be lost otherwise than in these cases.

Notes

  1. 7.9.7.prre tradita — Ablative absolute construction consisting of the noun res (thing) and the perfect passive participle of tradere (to deliver). Within the conditional clause si...satisdatum non fuerit, it expresses a temporal or concessive relation: 'after the thing has been delivered [yet security has not been given]'.
  2. 7.9.7.prreplicandum erit — Impersonal passive periphrastic conjugation using the gerundive of replicare (to make a replication) with the future of esse. It expresses necessity or obligation: 'a replication must be made'.
  3. 7.9.7.prcondici poterit — The present passive infinitive of condicere (to demand back, sue by condictio) combined with poterit, the third-person singular future of posse. It means that the stipulation itself can be made the subject of a condictio (claim for recovery).
  4. 7.9.7.1dari — Present passive infinitive of dare (to give, deliver). It represents substantively the act to be promised in the stipulation, meaning 'to be given'.
