Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the taking of a private road by the municipality requires expropriation compensation.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No compensation is owed because the owners suffered no compensable loss from the transfer of the private road to the municipality.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under the general principle of full compensation, only actual damage is compensable. A private access road normally has no market value and, upon takeover by the municipality, the owners are typically relieved of maintenance and liability while receiving the public road in its place. The court held that this applies here as well.
