Final answer:

Inverse condemnation is the court process started by the property owner instead of the government, when the owner feels their property has been de facto condemned without just compensation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The court process started by the property owner instead of the government, when the owner feels their property has been de facto condemned without just compensation, is known as inverse condemnation. Inverse condemnation is the opposite of condemnation, which is the power of the government to take private property for public use under eminent domain. In inverse condemnation, the property owner takes legal action to seek compensation for what they believe is a de facto taking of their property by the government.
