Italian term or phrase: isolata
E’ rimasta pressoché isolata la tesi che afferma la nullità relativa del contratto, cioè una nullità di protezione nell’interesse dell’acquirente (2).

I can't quite get the meaning of isolata in the above - does it mean something like refuted?
TIA for any input

agree  luskie: servirebbe altro testo, ma io leggendo quello disponibile capisco che è una tesi sostenuta da poche persone (non da pochi argomenti) - isolata=con nessuno intorno che la sostenga
