lex aquilia


Also found in: Wikipedia.

lex aquilia

an ancient Roman statute, probably passed in the 3rd century BC. Two provisions of it, the first and third chapters, formed the essence of the delict known as damnum injuria datum, ‘loss wrongfully caused’. The third chapter provided that if a man caused loss to another by burning, breaking or destroying the defendant's property he would be liable for the loss caused. The Digest (see CORPUS JURIS CIVILIS) is rich in discussion of what cases would or would not attract liability. Injuria originally meant simply ‘without justification’ but eventually it was developed to mean FAULT. In a developed and interpreted form it became an important part of the law of civil wrongs in the civilian jurisdictions.

El damnum iniuria datum o dano causado injustamente fue aquel contemplado por la lex Aquilia, plebiscito del tribuno Aquilio del ano 287 a.C., el cual estructuro de manera sistematica los diferentes tipos de danos que se podian ocasionar sobre las cosas, y configuro el principio general segun el cual cualquiera que no por casualidad, sino con dolo o culpa, esto es, sin causa de justificacion, mata o lesiona, o produce dano a persona o cosa ajena (9), quedaba obligado a pagar una suma de dinero a titulo de pena (10), cuyo valor era sustancialmente superior al dano causado.
Es solo con las ideas planteadas por los glosadores de la Escuela de Bolonia hacia el siglo XI que comienza a consolidarse de nuevo la funcion resarcitoria de la condena por la irrogacion de danos (65), con base en la reinterpretacion de las fuentes romanas y en especial de la lex Aquilia. Las caracteristicas de la accion ex lege Aquilia fueron atenuandose paulatinamente hasta desaparecer, convirtiendose en una accion civil (66), efecto que se produjo sin duda por la influencia del pensamiento canonico y la escuela del iusnaturalismo (67).
