Usage Note

Opponibile is a legal term meaning that a right, claim, or document can be raised or enforced against a third party. The phrase opponibile ai terzi (enforceable against third parties) is a standard formula in Italian civil law. Its negative inopponibile means that an act cannot be cited against someone — for example because it was not properly registered.

Examples

"Il diritto è opponibile ai terzi dal momento della trascrizione."

Natural Translation
