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.
