A Historical Introduction to the Law of Obligations

Mr Goudie said: “You didn’t want people to speak to the press and for people to get the wrong idea but you said David Ibbotson caused the crash, you had no information at the time so you knew he was not a competent flier. The striker moved to France in 2010 having been signed by Bordeaux and made his first team debut two years later. He was loaned out to Championnat National side US Orleans for the 2012-13 season and was later loaned out to Chamois Niortais in Ligue 2 and Caen in Ligue 1. A paper on English legal humanism may be, almost by definition, a paper without a subject. If legal humanism is taken in its continental sense described by Douglas Osler, as a concern with the establishment of the true texts of the Justinianic corpus and elsewhere, and their interpretation as such, using philological and historical methods, as part of the study of Antiquity, then we would hardly expect there to be very much in England, certainly not in connection with English law. Even if we take a broader approach to humanism, things are not much better. Anyone who takes the trouble to do a Google search on the phrase “English legal humanism” will, at the time this is being written, get hardly a single hit. While none of us would want to treat Google as a definitive index of the world's knowledge, the paucity of references does indicate that it is something of a non-topic. According to one work on humanism in Tudor England, the study of law, like the study of logic, Latin grammar and Aristotelianism, was transformed by the activity of humanist scholars; but the references are to France and Basel, not to England. So far as the modern literature goes, there is nothing there.

He began his career in the city of San Francisco, Cordoba, where he came through the ranks of Club Escuela Proyecto Crecer, an academy aimed at giving young South Americans a route to Europe. The basic division of all obligations is into two genera: for they are either civil or praeto- rian. Civil are those which are constituted by statutes or at least recognised by the ius civile. Praetorian are those which the praetor has established out of his own authority, which are also called honorary. Yet it is not quite accurate to say simply that obligatio is the correlative of actio. As Gaius states, the connection is between obligations and personal actions:If a person has administered a tutelage, a curacy, business activities, banking, or anything else from which an obligatio arises, in a certain place, he will have to defend himself there even if he did not have his home there, and if he neither defends nor has his home there his goods will be seized. Although the obligatio connotes a relationship between persons, in a specific context it might refer to that relationship from the standpoint of the person bound. This is clear, for example, [when]… One person makes a stipulatio with his neighbour that his eaves might project over the neighbour’s land, and then buys a second property. It is said that the original stipulatio (probably) does not apply to the second house, lest the obligatio promissionis be increased. When the senatus consultum Velleianum regulated obligationes of women, it was transparently referring to their being bound . Similarly, a transfer of a slave to be freed by the transferee after the death of the transferor is said to create an obligatio, i.e. an obligation on the transferee to free the slave; and a fideiussor can fall under an obligatio. On entry into a hereditas , the heir takes on (suscipit) the obligationes of an inheritance, a procurator may take on the obligationes of his principal, a son or slave should be relieved of an obligatio, and more generally a person may be freed from an obligatio . An obligatio could be transferred from fideiussor to freedman, or from a solvent to an insolvent debtor, or a noxal obligatio can be transferred where another person confesses that he or she is the owner of a slave whose wrong is the basis of a claim. When it is said that an obligatio would be made more burdensome, it cannot be anything but the burden to the person who is under the obligation that can be meant. Finally, although it is a new relationship that is created when an obligatio is novated, the focus is on the new liability that comes into existence rather than on the new right . Although the obligatio was at its core a relationship between two parties, as a noun it was reified so that it was seen as an asset in the hands of the beneficiary. In his Institutes, Gaius places obligationes in his list of incorporeal things, alongside inheritances, usufructs and servitudes ; something that is repeated by Justinian. An obligatio therefore had a duration; it could be said to be born and to be extinguished or brought to an end . It could endure or remain, or it could be perpetuated. If a transaction was undone so that there was restitutio in integrum, a former obligatio could be restored. When a novation occurred it could be said that the obligatio had been changed, and as a thing it could be sold or transferred. Indeed, so proprietary was the obligatio that both Ulpian and Julian say that it can be made the subject of a condictio ; where a promise had been made without a causa the promisor could bring a condictio to reclaim the obligatio itself, not the sum of money that had been promised. David Henderson is arrested at his home in East Riding of Yorkshire by Dorset Police. He is taken to Hull police station and interviewed but answers "no comment"

Prosecutor Mr Goudie said: “We do not seek to suggest that Mr Henderson did not know what he was doing or care about safety, you will see a lot of maintenance took place on the aircraft, but that he ignored certain requirements when it suited him and his business interests.” Noteworthily, although the sources of obligations are given in the Institutes, Gaius gives nothing like a definition of obligatio . We might say that his primary reason for introducing the category of obligations into the institutional framework at this point has nothing to do with obligations themselves, but serves rather to provide a peg on which to hang the discussion of contracts and delicts .Dr Emilija Leinarte is University Assistant Professor. Her expertise lie in International law and European Union Law. You said ‘Questions may be asked about his flying’, this all goes to your view of David Ibbotson’s competence.” Ibbetson's legal historical scholarship is marked by its breadth, with publications spanning topics as varied as medieval contracts, wrongdoing in Mesopotamian codes, early modern natural law and modern tort. His early career was characterised by work on the development of the English law of obligations, exemplified by his book A Historical Introduction to the Law of Obligations, which remains a central point of reference for any account of how the modern law of tort and contract have taken their present shapes. Roman Law, a subject Ibbetson taught since his days as a PhD student, developed into a second focal point for his research, with a series of articles on the Roman law of obligations applying the methods of English legal history to the ancient sources. His more recent work has increasingly taken on a multi-jurisdictional approach, and further explored the way in which legal concepts were understood at an intellectual level as well as in the courtrooms.

Sequens divisio in quattuor species deducitur: aut enim ex contractu sunt aut quasi ex contractu aut ex maleficio aut quasi ex maleficio. Four centuries ago, in his commentaries on the civil law, Donellus analysed the nature of obligatio in Roman law. Subsequent scholars by the score have continued his work and continue to do so. It would be impossible in a short piece to engage with all of this literature, so the purpose of the present discussion is simply to outline what is known and to locate it within the Roman world. To understand the nature of obligatio we should begin with the verb form, obligare , and see its etymology and meaning. Its core meaning, already by the time of Plautus, is to bind , tie up or fasten, with its root ligare derived from the Greek λυγόω, with the same sense. Its secondary, abstract meaning of putting a person under a duty , which is found by the end of the Republic, maintains its link with this concrete meaning of binding or tying. In addition, it could refer to the binding of a thing, as where its owner pledged it to another. It is from here that we get, at the latest by the time of Cicero, the noun obligatio .

The only person you chased twice after the crash was Henry Aylott . These texts show quite clearly you knew he wasn’t a competent pilot.” David Ibbotson and Emiliano Sala arrive in Nantes. Ibbotson expresses some concerns with the aircraft, namely the soft brake pedal and an oil leakage.
