Ex omnibus autem istis causis certis uerbis pignus capiebatur, et ob id plerisque placebat hanc quoque actionem legis actionem esse; quibusdam autem placebat legis actionem non esse, primum quod pignoris capio extra ius peragebatur, id est non apud praetorem, plerumque etiam absente aduersario, cum alioquin ceteris actionibus non aliter uti quis posset quam apud praetorem praesente aduersario; praeterea quod nefasto quoque die, id est, quo non licebat lege agere, pignus capi poterat.31 (G.4. 26- 29) Legisaktsioonilisel protsessil on kaks suurt puudust: 1) menetlus in iure oli seotud keerukate vorminõuetega, milles eksimine muutis terve menetluse kehtetuks. 32 2) Menetluses tarvitatavad vormelid olid lahutamatult seotud seaduse sõnastusega.

O, horrible! most horrible!
