Key legal question
How should the expropriation value of a dilapidated house with no market value be assessed?
Extracted holding
The building compensation of CHF 21,000 was sufficient; the court accepted a time-value approach rather than replacement cost and rejected any higher subjective compensation.
Extracted reasoning
The house had no market value and was effectively an abbruchliegenschaft. Replacement cost would overcompensate the owners, while the accepted amount still covered their subjective need for a modest home and storage space over a comparable period.
