Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §8.1.16.pr

Analogical Actions for Servitudes of Creditors and Tenants

Passage 1364 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

The text explains that it is just to grant an analogical petition (utilis petitio) for a servitude to a pledgee or a holder of a vectigalis estate, just as it is granted for the estate itself.

[IULIANUS libro quadragensimo nono digestorum. ] §8.1.16.prEi, qui pignori fundum accepit, non est iniquum utilem petitionem seruitutis dari, sicuti ipsius fundi utilis petitio dabitur.

[JULIANUS in the forty-ninth book of the Digests.] It is not unjust that an analogical petition for a servitude be granted to him who has received an estate in pledge, just as an analogical petition for the estate itself will be granted.

idem seruari conuenit et in eo, ad quem uectigalis fundus pertinet.

It is fitting that the same be observed also in the case of him to whom a vectigalis estate belongs.

Notes

8.1.16.prnon est iniquum utilem petitionem seruitutis dari — The infinitive clause with accusative (A.C.I.) 'utilem petitionem seruitutis dari' (that an analogical petition for a servitude be granted) serves as the subject of the impersonal expression 'non est iniquum' (it is not unjust). The dative 'Ei' at the beginning functions as the recipient of 'dari'.
8.1.16.pruectigalis fundus — Literally 'land subject to tax (vectigal)', which legally refers to 'vectigalis land' or 'land held on perpetual lease'. It is the subject of the relative clause 'ad quem... pertinet' (to whom... belongs), indicating that the same legal remedy (granting of an analogical petition) applies to its holder (the emphyteutic tenant) as to the pledgee.
