Aquilian law

Read a random definition: rei

A quick definition of Aquilian law:

Aquilian Law: A law in ancient Rome that made people responsible for causing financial loss to others through their actions. This law also regulated compensation for damage to property, including injury to someone else's slave or livestock. If someone denied responsibility for the loss, they had to pay double the damages. This law applied to both accidental and intentional harm. It was enacted around 287 B.C. and replaced earlier laws.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Aquilian law is a Roman law that imposes liability for pecuniary loss caused by damage to property, including compensation to be paid for injury to another's slave or livestock. It was enacted around 287 B.C. and superseded the earlier provisions of the Twelve Tables. The law applies to negligence as well as dolus, and a loss had to be financially measurable and caused wrongfully. If the liable party denied liability, then damages were doubled.

Examples: If someone's property is damaged due to the negligence of another person, the Aquilian law would hold the negligent person liable for the financial loss caused. For instance, if a person's car is damaged due to the negligence of another driver, the negligent driver would be held liable for the financial loss caused to the car owner. Similarly, if a person's livestock is injured or killed due to the negligence of another person, the negligent person would be held liable for the financial loss caused to the livestock owner.

These examples illustrate how the Aquilian law imposes liability for pecuniary loss caused by damage to property and ensures that the liable party compensates the affected party for the financial loss caused due to their negligence.
