Question juridique clé
Whether the expropriation procedure violated the landowner's right to be heard because of an ex parte site inspection.
Solution extraite
The objection was raised too late and, in any event, any defect was cured by the Federal Supreme Court's own review based on the new measurement evidence.
Motifs extraits
The landowner knew the inspection had been conducted without him, yet did not request a proper inspection earlier. The alleged defect could be remedied on appeal because the new survey allowed full review of the disputed distances.
