De popularibus actionibus

(Concerning Popular Actions.)

1Pau­lus li­bro oc­ta­vo ad edic­tum. Eam po­pu­la­rem ac­tio­nem di­ci­mus, quae suum ius po­pu­li tue­tur.

1Paulus, On the Edict, Book VIII. We call that a popular action which protects the rights of the party who brings it, as well as those of the people.

2Idem li­bro pri­mo ad edic­tum. Si plu­res si­mul agant po­pu­la­ri ac­tio­ne, prae­tor eli­gat ido­neio­rem.

2The Same, On the Edict, Book I. Where several persons bring a popular action at the same time, the Prætor shall select the most suitable one of them.

3Ul­pia­nus li­bro pri­mo ad edic­tum. Sed si ex ea­dem cau­sa sae­pius age­tur11Die Großausgabe liest aga­tur statt age­tur., cum idem fac­tum sit, ex­cep­tio vul­ga­ris rei iu­di­ca­tae op­po­ni­tur. 1In po­pu­la­ri­bus ac­tio­ni­bus is cu­ius in­ter­est prae­fer­tur.

3Ulpianus, On the Edict, Book I. If suit is brought several times for the same cause, when the same act is involved, the ordinary exception of res judicata can be pleaded. 1In popular actions, the party in interest is given the preference.

4Pau­lus li­bro ter­tio ad edic­tum. Po­pu­la­ris ac­tio in­te­grae per­so­nae per­mit­ti­tur, hoc est cui per edic­tum pos­tu­la­re li­cet.

4Paulus, On the Edict, Book III. A popular action is granted to a person whose rights are unimpaired, that is to say, to one who can bring suit under the Edict.

5Idem li­bro oc­ta­vo ad edic­tum. Qui po­pu­la­ri ac­tio­ne con­ve­nie­tur, ad de­fen­den­dum pro­cu­ra­to­rem da­re pot­est: is au­tem, qui eam mo­vet, pro­cu­ra­to­rem da­re non pot­est.

5The Same, On the Edict, Book VIII. Where anyone is sued in a popular action, he can appoint an attorney to defend him, but he who brings the suit cannot appoint one.

6Ul­pia­nus li­bro vi­cen­si­mo quin­to ad edic­tum. Mu­lie­ri et pu­pil­lo po­pu­la­res ac­tio­nes non dan­tur, ni­si cum ad eos res per­ti­neat.

6Ulpianus, On the Edict, Book XXV. Popular actions are not granted to women and minors, unless they are interested in the matter.

7Pau­lus li­bro qua­dra­gen­si­mo pri­mo ad edic­tum. Po­pu­la­res ac­tio­nes non trans­eunt ad eum, cui re­sti­tu­ta est he­redi­tas ex Tre­bel­lia­no se­na­tus con­sul­to. 1Item qui ha­bet has ac­tio­nes, non in­tel­le­gi­tur es­se lo­cu­ple­tior.

7Paulus, On the Edict, Book XLI. Popular actions do not pass to him to whom an estate has been restored under the Trebellian Decree of the Senate. 1The person entitled to bring these actions is not considered to be pecuniarily benefited on this account.

8Ul­pia­nus li­bro pri­mo ad edic­tum. Om­nes po­pu­la­res ac­tio­nes ne­que in he­redes dan­tur ne­que su­pra an­num ex­ten­dun­tur.

8Ulpianus, On the Edict, Book I. All popular actions are not granted against heirs, nor is the right to bring them extended beyond the term of a year.
