The constant tendency of the praetor to enlarge the sphere of his extraordinaria cognitio, after the establishment of the empire, at the expense of the regular procedure by formula, paved the way to the total abolition of the latter. An even stronger influence, which was perpetually working against the ordo iudiciorum privatorum, was the new appellate jurisdiction; for, as has been observed, formulae were employed only in courts of lowest instance1. Eventually the formulary procedure was abolished by Diocletian, A. D. 294, magistrates being compelled to hear and decide suits themselves through all their stages; and even when, from stress of business, they were obliged to refer an occasional action to a iudex, their relation to the latter was no longer that of the older system; the proceedings were no longer divided between ius and iudicium, but the whole of them were delegated; magistratus and iudex, so far as the administration of justice is concerned, are interchangeable terms. As is observed by Mr. Poste 2, the libellary procedure in use in the time of Justinian was essentially the same as cognitio extraordinaria 3.

1 A sure index of the increasing activity of the extraordinaria cognitio is the frequent use of the expression iudex pedaneus' (xaμaidikaσrýs, Theophilus) by the classical jurists. This originated in the practice of calling the magistrate himself 'iudex,' which was only natural when he took to personally hearing and deciding many actions; iudex pedaneus' is the iudex instructed by formula.

2 Gaius p. 657.

Cf. Bk. iv. 15. 8 supr. Several topics which are of importance in the formulary procedure have been omitted in this excursus because they demand discussion under the later system as well, and consequently are touched upon in the notes to the text of Bk. iv: e. g. Processual Agency, Title 10; Satisdatio, Title 11; Prescription and Pendency, Title 12; Interdicts, Title 15; Restraints upon reckless Litigation, Title 16.
