Abstract
This article deals with theoretical and practical aspects of judgements within Roman civil law. Its fundamental aim is to analyse: (1) theoretical characteristics of judgements made within Roman republican civil procedure; (2) the concept of judgements from both static and dynamic perspective; (3) the limits of private judges' actions; and (4) the Roman civil procedure as such and compare it to current realities. The main idea of this paper is that the scholars shall pay attention to the fact that within the Roman civil law the private judges delivered their decisions under the authority of Roman republic.
