Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the current owners were entitled to claim material expropriation compensation
Decisione estratta
The claim could validly be pursued by the owners who held the parcel when the claim was filed, since cantonal law governed entitlement and the claim followed ownership changes in the absence of a reservation.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that the identity of the compensation creditor is left to cantonal law. Given the decade-long limitation period and the lack of any reserved right upon inheritance division, it was not arbitrary to treat the claim as attached to the parcel and thus belonging to the then-current owners.
