adjudicatio
adjudicatio. Roman law. A part of a formula in a partition action by which the judge assigned the parties real rights in their shares; specif., a part of a formula (i.e., the praetor’s statement of an issue for a judex) directing the judex to apportion property in a divisory action. • Adjudicatio was used to apportion property in divisory actions such as actio de communi dividundo, actio familiae erciscundae, and actio finium regundorum. It was not part of the formula in any other type of action. See FORMULA(1).
