The Chair of the American Bar Association Section on Eminent Domain says, “Yes.” State courts have been wrangling with just compensation for years. In Texas, court decisions have increased compensation to land owners by millions. But, the US Supreme Court has been silent on just compensation. In 2005, the US Supreme Court’s Kelo provided guidance on why land could be taken, but didn’t touch on how much land owners should be compensated. It’s the next big issue. Look for vocal land owners on the horizon. [JDSupra]
