The service contract in Roman law

Abstract: The service contract has been existing since Roman law. It originates from the locatio operis conductio contracts. It was the contract by which one party a conductor - was obliged to perform a specific job, such as a shoe making, wine transportation, etc., and the other party, a locator was obliged to pay the specified fee. It is very interesting that in Roman law a clear distinction was made between ordinary activities and those required a special education. In fact, in Roman law, jobs demanded a greater knowledge, usually possessed by highly educated people (teachers, lawyers), were not the subject of locatio operis condutio but mandatum which was considered to be a free contract. This paper will examine the origin of the service contract in Roman law, because it represents a basis and foundation of today's European legal system, and in addition, it is the most developed and comprehensive legal system of the ancient times.

The concept of property in roman law

Abstract: The significance of the Roman law in the development of the property institute, within the Law of Things, is enormous. During the long Roman history there were various forms of property, from social, public, to private. Each of these forms of ownership enjoyed a special legal protection. As the Roman society was divided into Roman citizens and those who were not, their legal property ownership permissions differed from one another. That is why there were a large number of lawsuits that in different ways protected the property of the owners of things, that is, those who, in a conscientious manner, came into possession of such things. The significance of the Roman law for modern continental legal systems based on Roman institutes, including our own, is immeasurable. Regardless of the time distance of several centuries, the solutions of Roman jurists are still current and have a practical application especially in the field of Law of Things and Law of Contract.

Abstract: Wine is not just a product of modern times. Wine, one of the oldest drinks in the world, was sold and inherited by ancient civilizations. Its importance is indicated by the regulation of wine in the Codes of ancient Mesopotamia and Roman law. Today, this agri-food product is sold on both the domestic and foreign markets, and it is indisputable that the production and sale of this product must be legally regulated. The authors of this paper, by analyzing the legal provisions of Roman law, the Law on Wine and the Criminal Code of Republic of Serbia, point out the importance of the existence and expansion of legal provisions related to wine and its producers and precise criminal law provisions in case of sale of wine produced contrary to legal regulations and contrary to the health of people who consumed the same. The stated purpose of the paper, in order to draw a conclusion about the importance of specifying legal provisions, was achieved by presenting the historical and positive legal regulation, using the historical method and comparative analysis.
