Also means
to lodge (an appeal)
Usage Note
Interponer is conjugated like poner (irregular: interpongo, interpuse, interpondré). In everyday speech it means to place something between two things. In legal Spanish interponer un recurso is the fixed phrase for lodging an appeal or filing a legal challenge — a key term for legal learners that has no single-word English equivalent.
Examples
"El abogado interpuso un recurso de apelación."
Natural Translation
The lawyer lodged an appeal.
