Res Deiectae Vel Effusae
The occupier of a building from which objects were thrown (deiectae) or poured (effusae), no matter by whom, onto a public place could be sued with a praetorian actio in factum by passers-by who suffered damage to person or property.
It was unimportant whether the damage was caused intentionally, negligently or by accident. If property was damaged, the action pursued twice the amount of damage caused. If a free person was killed, there was a fixed penalty of 50 aurei[989]; if he suffered bodily harm, the penalty was determined by the judge by taking into consideration medical costs and other financial losses.[990]4.11.3
