Simple English definitions for legal terms

depositum

Read a random definition: lex delicti

A quick definition of depositum:

Depositum: In ancient Rome, depositum referred to the act of depositing goods for the benefit of the depositor without any charge. The person who received the goods was only responsible if they acted with deceit or fraud. This is different from other types of deposits where the depositee is responsible for the safekeeping of the goods.

A more thorough explanation:

Depositum

Depositum is a type of legal agreement in ancient Rome where someone would leave their belongings with another person for safekeeping without any payment. The person who received the belongings, known as the depositee, was only responsible if they intentionally caused harm to the belongings. This is called dolus.

An example of depositum would be if a person left their jewelry with a friend while they went on vacation. The friend would be responsible for taking care of the jewelry but would only be liable if they intentionally caused harm to it.

Another example would be if a person left their car with a mechanic for repairs. The mechanic would be responsible for taking care of the car but would only be liable if they intentionally caused harm to it.

These examples illustrate the definition of depositum because they show how one person is leaving their belongings with another person for safekeeping without any payment. The person who receives the belongings is only responsible if they intentionally cause harm to them.
