A landowner brought an action against a municipality seeking compensation for the alleged expropriation of land necessitated by the construction of a public road, arguing that the construction rendered the remaining portion of their property unusable and valueless, thereby constituting a partial taking requiring full indemnification. The court quashed the lower court's decision, reasoning that while the construction of a public road may not directly seize a portion of the land, if the resulting alterations, such as the imposition of an easement or a substantial modification of the property's utility, cause the owner a specific and significant prejudice exceeding the ordinary neighborhood inconveniences, compensation is due for the damage suffered, even in the absence of a formal act of expropriation of the land itself.
