PRESSENCE OF THE EDICT NE QUIS IN SUGGRUNDA IN MODERN SERBIAN LAW

Summary

In Roman law absence of maintenance of the external parts of objects or the placement of various objects on them was sanctioned. The principle of the objective responsibility was applied and the responsible person was punished with a fine for the created state of danger. Even today when passing through the city we can see the plants on the terraces that are not secured, the facades that threaten to fall off, and the broken billboards, etc. For this reason, the issue of responsibility for endangering the safety of citizens and their property is always a priority. To point out historical aspect of legal responsibility, the author in his work starts from Roman law rules, and then analyzes domestic laws  which are the backbone of the topic.

Key words: Roman law, Serbian Civil Code, Serbian positive laws, buildings, maintenance, sanctions.
