If the lord happened to be so very poor as not to be able to hire peers of his paramount, or if he neglected to ask for them or the paramount refused to give them, then, as the lord could not judge by himself, and as nobody was obliged to plead before a tribunal where judgment could not be given, the affair was brought before the lord paramount.
Jauna oso pobrea izan eta bere goragoko jaunagandik pareak hartzerik ez bazeukan, edo eskatzea ahazten bazitzaion, edo hark eman nahi ez bazizkion, jaunak, berak bakarrik epaitzerik ez zeukanez, eta inor ez zegoenez epaia ematerik ez zeukan epaimahai baten aurrean jardutera behartuta, auzia goragoko jaunaren epaitegira eramaten zen.
