THESES ON APPEALS.

I.

An ornamental drop cap 'A' featuring foliate motifs initiates the text.
AN APPEAL is a provocation by an aggrieved party from an inferior judge to a superior one.

II.

A Third Party, one who has confessed and been convicted, and a contumacious person cannot appeal.

III.

Likewise, one condemned in the name of a liquid debt against the treasury, or the private purse of the prince, cannot appeal.

IV.

One may not appeal from the supreme prince, from the Senate, or from the Praetorian Prefect.

V.

Finally, one may not appeal from a judge given by the prince with the clause, "It is not permitted to appeal from him, etc.," nor from an executor keeping to his mandate, nor from an arbiter chosen by compromise.

VI.

One appeals from a judge who has been appointed to the one who appointed him.

VII.

Furthermore, although one does not appeal from a person to whom someone has delegated jurisdiction, but rather to the one who would be appealed to from the person who delegated the jurisdiction: nevertheless, an appeal can be made from legates to the proconsul.
