De loco publico fruendo
(Concerning the Edict Relating to the Enjoyment of a Public Place.)
1Ulpianus, On the Edict, Book LXVIII. The Prætor says: “I forbid force to be employed to prevent anyone who has leased public property, or his partner, from enjoying it in accordance with the terms of the lease.” 1It is evident that this interdict was established for the general welfare, for it protects the public revenue when it forbids violence to be employed against anyone who has leased public land for the purpose of enjoying it. 2If a lessee and his partner both apply to have the interdict issued, the lessee himself will be entitled to the preference. 3The Prætor says, “In accordance with the terms of the lease,” and this is reasonable, for a tenant who desires to enjoy the property beyond, or contrary to the terms of his lease, should not be heard.
