A quick definition of natural interruption:
Natural Interruption: When someone has been using a piece of land for a long time, they may start to think they own it. But if they stop using it for more than a year and someone else takes it, they can't claim ownership anymore. This is called a natural interruption. It's like taking a break from playing with a toy and then someone else starts playing with it - you can't say it's still yours.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: Natural interruption refers to a break of more than one year in a possessor's period of possession after a rightful owner or a third person seizes the real property. This break can end a claim to ownership by prescriptive right.
Example: Let's say John has been living in a house for 10 years without the owner's permission. After 5 years, the owner's son comes and takes possession of the house. This is a natural interruption because John's period of possession has been interrupted by a rightful owner or a third person seizing the property.
This example illustrates how natural interruption can break a possessor's period of possession and end their claim to ownership by prescriptive right.
