Prohibition of Servitude Imposed by a Single Co-Owner

Passage 1350 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Ulpian states the legal rule that one of the co-owners of a common building cannot individually impose a servitude on it.

[ULPIANUS libro septimo decimo ad edictum. ] §8.1.2.prUnus ex dominis communium aedium seruitutem imponere non potest.
[ULPIANUS in the seventeenth book on the Edict.] One of the owners of a common building cannot impose a servitude.

Notes

  1. §8.1.2.prunus ex dominis communium aedium — The prepositional phrase `ex dominis` (ablative) functions partitively with `unus` ("one of the owners"). `communium aedium` (genitive) modifies `dominis`, meaning "of a common building". The feminine noun `aedes` is used in the plural (genitive `aedium`) to denote a "building" or "house".
  2. §8.1.2.prseruitutem imponere non potest — The present active infinitive `imponere` (to impose, establish) is used as a complementary infinitive with the verb `potest` (can, is able), with `seruitutem` (servitude) acting as its direct object.
