Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the expropriation compensation and minor damage assessment had to be revised on appeal.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal court upheld the comparison-based valuation approach in principle and found no arbitrary assessment in the land-value or minor-damage reasoning, except for the omitted inconvenience damage linked to felled trees.
Extrahierte Begründung
Single or few comparable sales may suffice if carefully examined; the lower court could rely on the 1997 zoning plan and on the fact that the remaining plot was not materially less buildable. However, it wrongly held that no loss had yet occurred for the felled trees, although the damage arose when they were cut down.
