Property Owner v. Cantonal Council Regarding Partial Expropriation Compensation

A property owner appealed a decision by the cantonal council regarding the expropriation of a small portion of their land for the construction of a public road, arguing that the compensation offered was insufficient because it failed to account for the complete loss of usability of the remaining property and the required deviation from established building plans. The court reasoned that the loss of usability for the remaining land, though significant, was already implicitly covered by the general valuation standards for partial expropriation, and furthermore, since the building plans were only provisions and not legally binding mandates, the inability to proceed with the original construction plans did not constitute an independently compensable damage under the relevant expropriation law.
