Subject
The study examines the impact of the Court of Cassation's decision on the new equivalence for calculating compensation resulting from street opening due to level lowering, and whether the equality principle among co-owners operates as an exception to that decision when a prior final judgment awarded compensation to other co-owners for loss in land value.
Summary
- Where a final judgment previously awarded compensation to other co-owners for diminution in land value caused by street opening/paving, current claimants are to receive compensation equal to the amount fixed in that prior final judgment according to their shares, without requiring a new technical expertise or fresh proof of loss even if the current expert report denies damage. - Applying the equality principle in this situation constitutes an exception to the Court of Cassation's equivalence rule, aimed at preserving the res judicata effect, transaction stability, and preventing conflicting judgments.
