Key legal question
Whether expropriation compensation had to include the capitalized value of the lost easement rent.
Extracted holding
No. The owner could not cumulatively claim market-value compensation and compensation for the lost easement income; the rent stream was not shown to be secured for a sufficiently long period.
Extracted reasoning
The owner may choose the most favorable valuation basis, but only one basis applies. A rent-based valuation is justified only if continued rent payments are sufficiently certain; here neither the contract nor the economic situation made long-term continuation reliable.
