Iudex, qui litem suam fecit

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Iudex, qui litem suam fecit (for example: the judge who charged himself with the process ) denotes a breach of official duty by the judge ( iudex ) in the Roman process . Claims from official liability arose in the early Roman legislative procedure and later in the form process , when judicial misconduct, which was regularly a perversion of the law , led to one of the parties involved in the process being harmed.

Proof of judicial liability can be found in the late antique collection of laws of the Digest with a contribution that traces back to the high classic Gaius .

According to the Justinian Institutiones Iustiniani , the follow-up process, which had to turn against the judicial action, was based on a claim from a quasi-dictum . Quasi ex delicto , liabilities arose from behavior similar to a crime. These primarily included the popular lawsuits of the actiones de deiectis vel effusis and de posito vel suspenso . Formally, the action against the judge was equated with the type of criminal offense.
