      Quodsi ergo patitur negotium suum geri ab alterio, nec contradicit; non facto suo declarat velle sese ut gerat, consequenter gestionem tacite ratihabet, antequam fuerit absoluta. Sed quando gestor gestionem ratihabet, antequam fuerit absoluta; gestio negotiorum in mandatum abit.
      If it is suffered that the business is performed by someone else and it is not gainsaid nor by deed declared by the principal that it should be performed, consequentially he confirms the performance. But if he who performs confirms the performance before it is carried out, the negotiorum gestio transforms into a mandate.
