 Praetor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Praetor when he administered justice sat on a sella Curulis in a Tribunal, which was that part of the Court which was appropriated to the Praetor and his assessors and friends, and is opposed to the Subsellia, or part occupied by the Judices, and others who were present.
Two praetors were appointed by Claudius for matters relating to Fideicommissa, when the business in that department of the law had become considerable, but Titus reduced the number to one; and Nerva added a Praetor for the decision of matters between the Fiscus and individuals.
In the year 246 BC another Praetor was appointed, whose business was to administer justice in matters in dispute between peregrini, or peregrini and Roman citizens; and accordingly he was called Praetor Peregrinus.

The revolution of the ancient law of Contract was consummated when the Praetor of some one year announced in his Edict that he would grant equitable actions upon Pacts which had never been matured at all into Contracts, provided only that the Pacts in question had been founded on a consideration (causa).
Their theory of Natural law must have led them to look with especial favour on the Consensual Contracts and on those Pacts or Conventions of which the Consensual Contracts were only particular instances; but they did not at once venture on extending to all Conventions the liberty of the Consensual Contracts.
Legal phraseology is, however, the part of the law which is the last to alter, and the Pacts equitably enforced continued to be designated simply Praetorian Pacts.

 SVP -Common Law vs Civil Law
In this way, through the jurisdiction of the praetor urbanus, new actions, enforcing claims not before recognized by the law, and new rules of law applicable to the changing wants of society, were established.
As in the cases brought before this pretor the parties were never both Roman citizens and the transactions involved were hardly ever entered into with reference to Roman law, the principles common to all systems of law were applied as dispensing, in such cases, a more adequate justice.
The law was still further developed, and that into a more ample justice, because of relations to Rome to foreign states, especially to those with which she had formed treaties, giving their citizens certain civil rights, such as the right to acquire and hold property within the Roman dominion.

It was this kind of natural law — principles of common law recurring among different nations — on which international law and certain parts of developing public law were based in the sixteenth century.
In the development of a law relating to the commercial dealings between citizens and aliens, where formerly only the principle of bona fides or good faith prevailed, the praetor peregrinus gradually built a legal system based on reason and common sense.
The praetor, by means of the edict and through his right to refuse an action worked out an equitable law — the jus gentium — which tended to displace the rigors of the jus civile.

In order to deal with the many new subjects Rome found it necessary to create a new praetor, the praetor peregrinus, who dealt with legal matters in which at least one of the parties was not a Roman citizen.
This practical trait extended to Rome’s general toleration of foreign religions and customs, and culture — even to the extent of recognizing the need for a special judicial official to deal with foreigners (praetor peregrinus).
