Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the hedonic model ESchK was admissible and suitable for valuing flight-noise damage to rental properties
Extrahierter Entscheid
The ESchK model was permissible and sufficiently reliable; the Federal Administrative Court could uphold it.
Extrahierte Begründung
The commission could use its own expert member and associated infrastructure; the parties' hearing rights were violated late but cured on appeal. For a schematic assessment of many comparable cases, a hedonic regression model based on transaction data was legally acceptable and scientifically sufficient.
