Quis a quo appelletur

(To Whom and From Whom an Appeal Can be Taken.)

1Ul­pia­nus li­bro pri­mo de ap­pel­la­tio­ni­bus. Quod di­ci­tur eum ap­pel­la­ri, qui de­dit iu­di­cem, sic ac­ci­pien­dum est, ut et suc­ces­sor eius pos­sit ap­pel­la­ri. pro­in­de et si prae­fec­tus ur­bi iu­di­cem de­de­rit vel prae­to­rio, ip­se erit pro­vo­can­dus, qui eum de­de­rit iu­di­cem. 1Ab eo, cui quis man­da­vit iu­ris­dic­tio­nem, non ip­se pro­vo­ca­bi­tur: nam ge­ne­ra­li­ter is erit pro­vo­can­dus ab eo cui man­da­ta est iu­ris­dic­tio, qui pro­vo­ca­re­tur ab eo qui man­da­vit iu­ris­dic­tio­nem.

1Ulpianus, On Appeals, Book I. When it is said that an appeal is taken from the judge who rendered the decision, this must be understood to mean that one can also be taken from his successor. Hence, where the Prefect of the City, or the Prætorian Prefect, renders a decision, an appeal should be taken from him who rendered it. 1An appeal is not taken to a person who has delegated his authority; for, generally speaking, it ought to be taken from him to whom the authority was delegated to him to whom the appeals would be taken from the official who delegated the authority.

2Ve­nu­leius Sa­tur­ni­nus li­bro se­cun­do de of­fi­cio pro­con­su­lis. Ap­pel­la­ri a le­ga­tis pro­con­sul pot­est, et, si mul­tam di­xe­rit, pot­est de in­iqui­ta­te eius pro­con­sul co­gnos­ce­re et quod op­ti­mum pu­ta­ve­rit sta­tue­re.

2Venuleius Saturninus, On the Duties of Proconsul, Book II. One can appeal from the Governor to the Proconsul, and if he has imposed a fine, the Proconsul can take cognizance of his injustice, and decide whatever he thinks best.

3Mo­des­ti­nus li­bro oc­ta­vo re­gu­la­rum. Da­to iu­di­ce a ma­gis­tra­ti­bus po­pu­li Ro­ma­ni cu­ius­cum­que or­di­nis, et­iam­si ex auc­to­ri­ta­te prin­ci­pis li­cet no­mi­na­tim iu­di­cem de­cla­ran­tis de­de­rint, ip­si ta­men ma­gis­tra­tus ap­pel­la­bun­tur.

3Modestinus, Rules, Book VIII. Whenever a judge is appointed by the magistrates of the Roman people, no matter of what rank they may be, even though this was done by order of the Emperor, and he may have designated the judge by name, an appeal can be taken to the magistrates themselves.
