Si quis in ius vocatus non ierit sive quis eum vocaverit, quem ex edicto non debuerit

(Where Anyone Who is Summoned Does Not Appear, and Where Anyone Summoned a Person Whom, According to the Edict, He Should Not Have Summoned.)

1Ul­pia­nus li­bro pri­mo ad edic­tum. Si quis in ius vo­ca­tus fi­de­ius­so­rem de­de­rit in iu­di­cio sis­ten­di cau­sa non sup­po­si­tum iu­ris­dic­tio­ni il­lius, ad quem vo­ca­tur, pro non da­to fi­de­ius­sor ha­be­tur, ni­si suo pri­vi­le­gio spe­cia­li­ter re­nun­tia­ve­rit.

1Ulpianus, On the Edict, Book I. Where anyone who is summoned, gives as a surety for his appearance in court a person not subject to the jurisdiction of the magistrate before whom he himself is summoned; such a surety is held not to have been given, unless he especially renounces his privilege.

2Pau­lus li­bro pri­mo ad edic­tum. Ex qua­cum­que cau­sa ad prae­to­rem vel alios, qui iu­ris­dic­tio­ni prae­sunt, in ius vo­ca­tus venire de­bet, ut hoc ip­sum scia­tur, an iu­ris­dic­tio eius sit. 1Si quis in ius vo­ca­tus non ie­rit, ex cau­sa a com­pe­ten­ti iu­di­ce mul­ta pro iu­ris­dic­tio­ne iu­di­cis dam­na­bi­tur: rus­ti­ci­ta­ti enim ho­mi­nis par­cen­dum erit: item si ni­hil in­ter­sit ac­to­ris eo tem­po­re in ius ad­ver­sa­rium venis­se, re­mit­tit prae­tor poe­nam, pu­ta quia fe­ria­tus dies fuit.

2Paulus, On the Edict, Book I. Anyone who is summoned before the Prætor or any other judicial officer in any matter whatsoever, should appear, in order that it may be ascertained whether the magistrate has jurisdiction or not. 1Where anyone who has been summoned does not appear, he shall be sentenced to pay a fine in proportion to the authority of the magistrate, where proper cause exists; but allowance must be made for men’s ignorance. Again, if the plaintiff has no interest in his adversary appearing in court at that particular time, the Prætor can remit the penalty; for example, because the day was a holiday.

3Ul­pia­nus li­bro qua­dra­gen­si­mo sep­ti­mo ad Sa­binum. Cum quis in iu­di­cio sis­ti pro­mi­se­rit ne­que ad­ie­ce­rit poe­nam, si sta­tus non es­set: in­cer­ti cum eo agen­dum es­se in id quod in­ter­est ve­ris­si­mum est, et ita Cel­sus quo­que scri­bit.

3Ulpianus, On Sabinus, Book XLVII. Where anyone has promised to appear in court but does not mention the penalty to which he will be liable if he should not appear, it is certain that suit can be brought against him for a sum equal to the plaintiff’s interest; and this Celsus also stated.
