PROSPECTIVE CHANGES OF ACTIO QUOD IUSSU IN JUSTINIAN LAW

Summary/Abstract: Actio quod iussu belongs to the group of actiones adiecticiae qualitatis. Its distinctive feature in relation to actio exercitoria and actio institoria is a limited circle of persons who can bind the master. Only alieni iuris can bind the master based on iussum. On the other hand, actio quod iussu together with action de peculio and actio de in rem verso it forms a unique system of peculiar liability. Unlike other peculiar actions in which the master is liable to the limited extent, based on iussum, the master is liable indefinitely. Did the actio quod iussu retain these classical determinants in Justinian Law, and did it undergo substantial changes along with changes in the family and reduction in the authority of the paterfamilias?
