ƿ CAP. 43. DE QUARTA SPECIE OBLIGATIONIS, QUAE DICITUR DEPOSITIO. | Chapter 43. On the fourth type of obligation, which is called deposition. |
Quarta species obligationis ponitur depositio. Et est depositio obligatio ad sustinendum aliquam propositionem tamquam falsam. Sicut si haec sit vera `rex sedet', et deponas, hoc est sustineas istam tamquam falsam. Unde circa istam obligationem istae sunt regulae: omne depositum sub forma depositi, propositum in tempore depositionis, est negandum; omne antecedens ad depositum est negandum; omne contradicens deposito est concedendum; ad sequens et ad omne impertinens et ad repugnans, quod non est contradictorium nec convertibile cum contradictorio, respondendum est secundum sui qualitatem. | The fourth type of obligation is deposition. And the deposition is an obligation to support any statement as false. For if this is true, `the king sits,' you depose it, that is, you hold it as if it were false. Hence these are the rules regarding this obligation: every deposition under the form of a deposition, intended at the time of the deposition, is to be denied; everything preceding the deposition is to be denied; everything that contradicts must be conceded; to the following and to everything irrelevant and to the contrary, which is neither contradictory nor reversible with the contradictory, must be answered according to its own quality. |
