Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the compulsory takeover of a private road burdened by way rights entitles the owners to compensation
Decisione estratta
No compensation is due where a private access road is taken over as public street area and the land has no market value because it cannot be used otherwise.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that no compensable loss arises if the expropriated road has no trading value and the owners are relieved from maintenance and liability. The takeover therefore does not worsen their economic position.
