De aestimatoria

(Concerning the Action for the Estimation of the Value of Property.)

1Ul­pia­nus li­bro tri­ge­si­mo se­cun­do ad edic­tum. Ac­tio de aes­ti­ma­to pro­po­ni­tur tol­len­dae du­bi­ta­tio­nis gra­tia: fuit enim ma­gis du­bi­ta­tum, cum res aes­ti­ma­ta ven­den­da da­tur, utrum ex ven­di­to sit ac­tio prop­ter aes­ti­ma­tio­nem, an ex lo­ca­to, qua­si rem ven­den­dam lo­cas­se vi­deor, an ex con­duc­to, qua­si ope­ras con­du­xis­sem, an man­da­ti. me­lius ita­que vi­sum est hanc ac­tio­nem pro­po­ni: quo­tiens enim de no­mi­ne con­trac­tus ali­cu­ius amb­ige­re­tur, con­ve­ni­ret ta­men ali­quam ac­tio­nem da­ri, dan­dam aes­ti­ma­to­riam prae­scrip­tis ver­bis ac­tio­nem: est enim neg­otium ci­vi­le ges­tum et qui­dem bo­na fi­de. qua­re om­nia et hic lo­cum ha­bent, quae in bo­nae fi­dei iu­di­ciis di­xi­mus. 1Aes­ti­ma­tio au­tem pe­ri­cu­lum fa­cit eius qui sus­ce­pit: aut igi­tur ip­sam rem de­be­bit in­cor­rup­tam red­de­re aut aes­ti­ma­tio­nem de qua con­ve­nit.

1Ulpianus, On the Edict, Book XXXII. Ad Dig. 19,3,1 pr.Windscheid: Lehrbuch des Pandektenrechts, 7. Aufl. 1891, Bd. II, § 383, Note 6; Bd. II, § 384a, Note 2.The action for the estimation of the value of property was invented for the purpose of removing doubt. For when property which had been appraised was given to another to be sold, it was doubtful whether an action on sale based on the estimated value would lie; or whether one on lease would be available, as I seemed to have leased the property for the purpose of sale; or whether one on hiring could be brought, since I hired the services of the party to sell it, or whether recourse could be had to an action on mandate? It, therefore, seemed to be betto be delivered as rent was required to be specifically indicated, and not merely a share of what might be produced. 1The estimate of property, however, is made at the risk of the person who receives it, and hence he must either restore the property itself in an undamaged condition, or pay the amount of the appraisement agreed upon.
