Subject
The issue concerns two expropriations affecting the same parcel and the plaintiff's acceptance of a compensation sum at an earlier stage of the appeal process, which the plaintiff did not challenge.
Summary
When the dispute is confined to a court direction to consider both expropriations and to assess each accordingly, and to determine the per-square-meter price using the amount the plaintiff previously accepted and did not appeal, a judgment awarding that accepted amount is consistent with the law. Reopening the valuation already accepted by the plaintiff amounts to an impermissible re-litigation, and should be avoided so as not to prejudice the opposing party as a result of her sole appeal.
Practical significance
In expropriation cases involving two overlapping expropriations on one parcel, courts should give effect to a plaintiff's prior, unchallenged acceptance of compensation and refrain from rearguing that valuation. This is a general educational summary and is not a judicial text or legal advice.
