General condition

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The condictio generalis denotes a under Justinian newly unjust enrichment action of the Roman law of late antiquity .

With it, for the purpose of process economy, claims were pursued for which previously defined individual facts existed, such as the condictiones , which referred to a “firmly determined monetary value” or a “firmly determined thing”, the so-called certum . The certum could result from a contract , quasi- contract or tort .

The new version of the general offense drew its legitimacy from the principle of enrichment law formulated by the high classic Sextus Pomponius in the 2nd century, "that nobody suffers harm or experiences injustice so that someone else becomes richer".

"Iure naturae aequum est, neminem cum alterius detrimento et iniuria fieri locupletiorem."
