Stipulatio

Stipulatio in Europe

Definition of Stipulatio

A verbal contract formed by question and answer. One party proposed a question (stipulatio) and the other responded to it (promissio). In the time of Gaius it was necessary to use a certain solemn form of words ; but before Justinian, the question and answer could be embodied in any words which would express the meaning of the parties. The contract was unilateral, the promissor only being bound, and the parties had to be present when the contract was entered into. (Roman Law.)
