РАЗМИСЛИ ОТНОСНО РИМСКОТО И СЪВРЕМЕННОТО СХВАЩАНЕ ЗА ДОГОВОРА

Author(s): Juan Manuel Blanch Nougués / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2021

The aim of this article is to highlight the importance of the Roman legal terminology on contracts, origin of modern basic concepts such as contract, pactum, agreement, transaction (with mutual sacrifices by the parties), or unilateral promise etc., very abundant, from the legal theory’s point of view, in the Roman law. This ancient law is, nowadays, an indispensable tool referring the dialogue between the most widespread traditions in the world, i. e., the Roman-Germanic and the Common Law. In order to do that, even between national laws belonging to a common legal tradition, the analysis of the genesis and nature of the legal concepts in Roman law constitutes a fundamental task of legal interpretation. A review of the traditional theory of the sources of obligations in Roman law is also necessary. This paper, besides, affords the discussion of the recent reform of the French Civil Code concerning the sources of obligations (2016), as well as some of the different initiatives about the international unification of private law.

КОНСЕНСУАЛНОСТТА НА РЕАЛНИЯ РИМСКИ MUTUUM. КОНТИНУИТЕТ И ДИСКОНТИНИУИТЕТ В УРЕДБАТА НА ДОГОВОРА ЗА ЗАЕМ ЗА ПОТРЕБЛЕНИЕ МЕЖДУ РИМСКОТО ПРАВО, ИТАЛИЯ И КИТАЙ

Author(s): Antonio Saccoccio / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2021

Roman jurists had always included the loan contract among the real contracts. This is the result of a progressive refinement process started with the ‘birth’of the loan within the category of the 're obligari'. Through a riper consideration developed among the jurists, the old 're obligari' has been included in a more recent notion of 'contrahere re', where the role of the consent is definitely more relevant. A tension between the elements of the consent and delivery has been kept within the view of Roman jurists on this contract: Roman jurists had, on the one hand, vigorously defended the view of the loan as a real contract, on the other hand, had elaborated dogmatic models of loan contracts for which the delivery (traditio) was not anymore necessary for the production of the (obligatory) effects of the loan contract.

РАЗМИСЛИ ВЪРХУ ПОНЯТИЕТО DAMNUM: DAMNUM И ВРЕДА, ИСТОРИЯТА НА ДВАМА „ФАЛШИВИ СРОДНИЦИ?

Author(s): Jean-François Gerkens / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2021

The article raises the question of two legal terms - harm (dommage in French) and damnum (in Latin): whether they are so-called in linguistics "false cognates"? If we look at the dictionaries of two modern languages, in such way are called words that are very similar in appearance but different in meaning. The interpretation of the difference in word formation and meaning can sometimes be explained by differences in the evolution of the two words, which could have a common etymological origin. The peculiarity of the case considered here is obvious in the fact that one word originates from another and it is not a question of parallel development. The question also arises as to whether the evolution of the word has given it a new meaning different than that which it had in Latin. The purpose of this brief research is not a philological or an etymological study of the subject, but to examine whether every time the Roman jurists speak of damnum it necessarily corresponds to the concept of harm (dommage) in the French language.

НЯКОИ ДИАХРОНИЧНИ ОТРАЖЕНИЯ НА ДЕФИНИЦИЯТА ЗА ДОГОВОРНАТА ИЗМАМА В РИМСКОТО ПРАВО

Author(s): Emmanuelle Chevreaux / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2021

The French reform of contract law, and in particular the publication of the Ordinance of 10 February 2016 on the reform of contract law, offers an opportunity to make some remarks on the subject of the Roman definitions of dolus malus. In fact, the new Article 1137 of the French Civil Code introduces for the first time the definition of fraud. This is a novelty in the legislation, as the drafters of the Civil Code of 1804 (Napoleon's Code) did not propose any definition of fraud, although Pottier in his "The Doctrine of Bonds" adopted the famous definition of dolus malus by the Roman jurist Labeon. It was formed in the legal doctrine and case law of the XIX century, and for this purpose the Roman legal sources are analyzed.

DATIO IN SOLUTUM NECESSARIA В РИМСКОТО ПРАВО. РАЗВИТИЕ И НАСТОЯЩЕ – СРАВНИЕЛЕН АНАЛИЗ

Author(s): Verónica Daniela Díaz Sazo / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2021

This research aims to analyze the figure of the datio in solutum necessaria from its origins to the present. All this, from the terminological and practical origin of the datio in solutum, but focusing specifically on the datio in solutum necessaria. The legal figure of datio in solutum necessaria finds its origin, according to the majority doctrine, after Justinian, so it is intended to systematize its evolution until today. In modern times, the datio in solutum necessaria is not estipulated in most legal systems, with voluntary payment being the option regulated by most of the current Civil Codes. However, it is intended to demonstrate that there are legal systems that remain faithful to Justinian Roman law when it comes to providing the datio in solutum necessaria in an express manner in their legal systems.

МОРЕ И ПРАВО. НЯКОИ БЕЛЕЖКИ

Author(s): Mario Fiorentini / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2021

The analysis of the legal sources of the second and third centuries AD, aims to highlight the fact thatthe inclusion of the sea among the res communes omnium, and the same this category developed by Marcian are not so much the mature fruit of the discussions developed among the imperial jurists but, on the contrary, an attempt to build a special category within the res publicae, open to anyone regardless of Roman citizenship, which, however, when it was created by Marcian, would need further reflection. However, such an in-depth study was not possible due to the lack of scientific activity of the jurists after Gordian III. A close analysis of the scene of Plautus’ Rudens is also carried out, in order to attempt a correct framing of the discussion on the historical process that involved the definition of the sea as res communis omnium.

THE PROTECTION OF THE UNDERWATER CULTURAL HERITAGE IN EUROPEAN MARE NOSTRUM

Author(s): Vlad Vieriu / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2021

Beneath the surface of our seas there is another world and an entire page of European history. Despite natural factors, the sea might be one of the best and safest environments for both natural and cultural heritage. New advanced technologies allow us to discover and salvage these ancient treasures in a relatively new suite of efforts. This year we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage, adopted during the UNESCO's General Conference in 2001, a moment for millennia of our common memory, but also, a remarkable example of common effort in international law.

L´ATTIVITÀ DELLO SCAPHARI COME PRECEDENTE DEL CONTRATTO DE MOVIMENTAZIONE PORTUALE

Author(s): Tewise Yurena Ortega González / Language(s): Italian Issue: 2/2021

L'INFLUENZA DI LITUS MARIS SULLA LEGISLAZIONE COSTIERA SPAGNOLA

Author(s): María Etelvina De las Casas León / Language(s): Italian Issue: 2/2021

The issue of litus maris is not a current concern to determining the coasts of individual countries. Roman law endeavours to analyze the question and above all to attend to the needs of a community. Although terminology may have evolved, the purpose has remained the same: concern for the environment and the legal regulation for the benefit of all mankind. When mentioning res communes omnium or res publicae, we ask ourselves whether they really have a different meaning or whether, on the contrary, we can consider them synonyms. In this sense, neither the sources, nor the doctrine is unanimous. From our point of view, however, everything boils down to a terminological and semantic problem, where the purpose is one and the same: to recognize a good of an entire community, which belongs to humanity and which we cannot make unlimited use of outside the legal system itself. Once again we find a topic that, although it seems contemporary, had already been taken into account in Roman jurisprudence and literature as well. And therefore, we see the impact and influence of Roman law on our contemporary legal system.

HISTORICAL AND CURRENT PREVALENCE OF THE ROMAN JURISPRUDENTIAL PRINCIPLE „TABULA PICTURAE CEDERE“

Author(s): Juan M. Alburquerque / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2022

In this study, we make and analyse a set of assessments and observations that seem to us more assumable, from historical and jurisprudential precedents, with the purpose of confirming the prevalent character of the principle of the proculeyan jurisprudence on the tabula picta, and its constant application until today, as can be seen in the current Spanish Civil Code. To this end, we will address: I. Introductory Summary: Accession in the Spanish Civil Code and preceding Roman jurisprudential problematic. II.Accessio as the most assumable framing and the possible differentiating profiles with specificatio. III. Possible indications related to the preceding beliefs, customs and traditions that may have motivated the change in the assignment of ownership to the painter. IV. Summary reference to some doctrinal comments on the alterations of the text of ІG 2.78, without abrupt changes in substance. V. Specific observations and analysis of the text of Gaius 2. 78: „Tabula picturae cedere“.

ASSESSING THE SCOPE OF LEGAL IMMUNITY IN MODERN LEGAL SCIENCE: THE NEED FOR QUESTIONING UNDER UKRAINIAN LAW

Author(s): Valerii Sokurenko,Oleksandr Morhunov,Serhii Ablamskyi / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

Everyone is born equal and expects to be treated similarly before the law in cases involving criminal activity and other obligations. It is problematic to have some people immune to legal consequences because they enjoyed special treatment in the eyes of the legislation meant to protect them. The issue we must bring up is crucial, as there is always the need to conduct a thorough investigation into the commission of crimes to secure justice. However, the tendency is that as far as immunity is on the individual concerned, this would frustrate the prosecution process. In this vein, it was proposed that this study investigate how immunity relates to today’s state of the law. We will look at an analytical approach to determine if immunity’s status has changed due to the rise of modern legal science. The paper overviews the legal framework adopted in Ukraine concerning immunity given to certain public servants.

ARBITRAL SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTES IN PROVINCES IN SHADOW OF THE ROMAN PROVINCIAL ADMINISTRATION

Author(s): Ivan Milotić,Ivana Jaramaz Reskušić / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

There are many records throughout the Empire from the imperial provinces dating to 1st and 2nd century AD that mention dispute settlements between tribal communities in which the Roman provincial administration had significant role. The intention of the Romans to intervene to such disputes was not so much motivated by the need to ordain how the dispute should be settled, but to ensure all the prerequisites that the dispute was ended quickly and efficiently. Romans intervened to all disputes that they perceived as potential dangers to their smooth administration of the province. The more dangerous the dispute was the higher provincial official was concerned with its settlement. Such approach to dispute settlements resulted with a high degree of standardisation of such procedures throughout the Empire which can be qualified as some kind of administrative arbitrations. Moreover, such approach reflected a consistent policy to disputes in those provinces where stabilisation of Roman government was still going on, or where tribal communities did still not fully adapt to the new Roman administrative system and territorial divisions. In their attempts to bring such disputes to an end, the Roman provincial magistrates used certain powers which were typical for their criminal jurisdiction, especially in initiating the dispute settlement and the enforcement of the award.

SERVUS VILICUS AS INSTITOR

Author(s): Mirjana Miškić / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

Servus vilicus was slave placed at the head of a Roman villa rustica. The main sources in which we learn about the content of the duties and the powers of the vilicus are provided by Columella, De re rustica, I.8, XI.1, and XII.1, Varro, De re rustica, I. and the Cato, De agri cultura, CXLII–CXLIII. Having in mind that legal framework of his occupation is pretty unknown, it is justified to ask a question: was he (or maybe she) the institor? In the Digest, we find only the incidental remark that anyone appointed to cultivate the land may be considered as an institor (D.14.3.5.2). In addition, the institor was primarily engaged in trade, while the vilicus performed a wide range of the work. Beside that fact, vilicus was not exclusively engaged in agriculture, but also in some state services, which makes this notion even more complex and contradictory. However, the main question remains to be answered, whether the servus vilicus was a person who also legally obliged his master or his job was reduced to the actual management of the property?

IL CULTO DI AUGUSTO- QUIRINUS NELLE PROVINCE

Author(s): Sara Lucrezzi / Language(s): Italian Issue: 2/2022

After the military victory and the conquest of the whole Empire, Augustus renforced his power through a large religious programm, to show that not only men, but also the gods were now in peace and all together engaged to ensure the glory of Rome. He presented himself as the new conditor, after Romulus, and had the idea to call himself Romulus or Quirinus (the divine transfiguration of the first king). An official cult of the emperor did not rise, for political caution, and in the several provinces, the consideration of the princeps took different forms. In some of the Eastern provinces people were allowed to look at him as a god, but generally, he had a different role: he was more powerful than a simple god.
