A quick definition of lucrum interceptum:

Term: LUCRUM INTERCEPTUM

Definition: Lucrum interceptum, also known as lucrum cessans, is a legal term that refers to damages awarded to compensate for a loss of anticipated profit in addition to an actual realizable loss. This means that if someone was expecting to make a certain amount of money but was unable to due to someone else's actions, they may be entitled to compensation for the lost profit. It is also known as "ceasing gain" and is often used in legal cases to determine the amount of damages owed. See also DAMNUM EMERGENS.

A more thorough explanation:

Lucrum interceptum is a Latin term that means "ceasing gain." It refers to damages awarded to include a loss of anticipated profit in addition to an actual realizable loss. It is also known as lucrum cessans.

For example, if a business owner had a contract to sell 100 units of a product for $10 each, but due to a breach of contract by the buyer, the business owner only sold 50 units, they would have suffered a loss of $500 in actual realizable loss. However, if the business owner could have sold the remaining 50 units for $10 each, they would have suffered an additional loss of $500 in anticipated profit. Therefore, the total damages awarded would be $1000, including both the actual realizable loss and the loss of anticipated profit.

Another example could be a contractor who was hired to build a house for $100,000 but due to the client's breach of contract, the contractor was unable to complete the project. The contractor would be entitled to damages for the actual costs incurred in the project, as well as the loss of anticipated profit that they would have earned if the project had been completed.

These examples illustrate how lucrum interceptum is used to compensate for the loss of anticipated profit in addition to actual realizable loss.
