ABSTRACT
In the Roman legal system, the actio was portrayed as a claim that was protectable by the praetor and which would entail the existence of the asserted legal situation as enunciated by the plaintiff through the postulatio actionis and the connected editio actionis. Through these passages, the plaintiff’s will/voluntas became the norm through the granting of a formula, which would lead to the litis contestatio and the judgment that closed the trial.
