Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a gripping analysis of the evolution of the penalty clause, also known as a 'conventional penalty' or 'stipulatio poenae' in Roman law. The penalty clause as a legal concept began as a simple conditional stipulation before evolving into a fully-fledged contractual obligation with a rich legal history. The author argues that to understand the full significance of the penalty clause concept, we must first understand its origins and development. To this end, the book dissects the legal texts of notable Roman jurists like Sabinus, Julian, Papinian, and Ulpian to create a thorough picture of the conventional penalty. Through this meticulous examination, the author brings to light essential characteristics of the penalty clause, such as the requirement for a valid primary obligation, the distinction between penalty clauses and unlawful agreements, and the impact of an invalid primary obligation on the enforceability of a penalty stipulation. The author concludes that the penalty clause, as structured in Roman law, was a versatile legal tool, allowing parties to add weight to their agreements. The penalty clause's legacy can still be found in modern contract law, making this book a valuable resource for legal scholars tracing its evolution across centuries of legal tradition and development.
