Description

Interlineation is the act of writing between the lines of a document, usually to add something that was omitted or thought of later. Interlineation signifies a sentence that is newly inserted between pervious sentences in a contract both parties had agreed upon previously. Interlineations help clarify specific points of a legal contract, and are useful if some of the terms of a contract become unclear later.
