Questão jurídica principal
Whether post-remediation road noise still entitled the owner to expropriation compensation
Decisão extraída
Yes. After completion of the noise barriers in 1995, the emissions remained excessive and compensation in principle was due.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that environmental law and noise-remediation rules are relevant in expropriation matters. Because the barriers were completed and the traffic noise still exceeded limits, the claim arose only from that date.
