The actio de efussis vel deiectis in classical roman law

Abstract

The actio de effusis vel deiectis is about the responsibility by a third party event and of a formula given against that who has the availability of a house (habitator), for the damage caused by something fallen or a liquid spilled from the house on a public transit place. The sentence is variable. Guilt is not considered a requirement to demand responsibility, because what is sentenced is not the hurtful event, but the danger, in order to protect the security of public transit. In the article the elements that give way to this responsibility are studied.
