Expropriation Indemnity Valuation Based on Required Demolition Costs

In a dispute concerning the expropriation of a building, the appellate court confirmed the lower court's decision to award indemnity to the owner, but the owner sought further compensation alleging the initial valuation failed to account for certain necessary demolition work required before the expropriated property could be rebuilt as permitted by the new urban planning regulations. The high court quashed the appellate decision because the court failed to consider the evidence presented by the owner regarding the specific, legally required demolition costs that directly impacted the net value of the expropriation indemnity, necessitating a re-evaluation of the compensation due.
