Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether electricity infrastructure on private land triggers expropriation rights under the 1985 Land Law. The plaintiff argued that the 1950 Electricity Act did not cover compensation, while the administration claimed no expropriation was needed. The court ruled that the 1985 Act applies because its provisions on compensation and expropriation are newer and better reflect constitutional property protection than the 1950 Act.
