blocking of passage

Usage Note

Interclusione is a legal and civil-engineering term for the state of being landlocked or cut off — specifically when a parcel of land has no access to a public road. Italian civil law (art. 1051 c.c.) grants the owner of an intercluded property the right to demand a passage (passaggio coattivo) across neighboring land. It is rarely used outside property law.

Examples

"Il fondo soffre di interclusione per mancanza di accesso."

Natural Translation

The plot suffers from enclosure due to lack of access.
