Wouters, Manual of Moral Theology

Vol. II, Bk. IV, Tr. I, Dissertation II. On the Juridic Effects of Delict

n. 850.

I. From delict, with canon 2210 considered, there arises:

  1. A penal action for declaring or inflicting a penalty and for seeking satisfaction.

  2. A civil action for repairing damages, if the delict has inflicted damage on anyone. The canonists treat of these matters more broadly according to canons 1552-1959, on trials; only let canon 2210, § 2 be noted: The same judge in a criminal trial can at the instance of the injured party call the civil action to examination and define it.

II. All who concur in a delict according to the norm of canon 2209, §§ 1-3 (n. 849, 1, 2, 3), are held by obligation in solidum of repairing the expenses and damages which have befallen any persons whatever from the delict, although they have been condemned by the judge pro rata (canon 2211).
