Questão jurídica principal
When must expropriation be conducted instead of land readjustment under Art. 23 VV zum BG über die Nationalstrassen?
Decisão extraída
Expropriation is to be initiated, on request of the owner or ex officio, only when land readjustment is manifestly unable to satisfy the justified replacement claims of an owner for a specific parcel.
Fundamentação extraída
The article is reserved for exceptional cases in which the land readjustment procedure cannot, in good faith and for that parcel, provide an adequate substitute. A classic example is a manor estate within the readjustment perimeter that cannot reasonably be included in the consolidation; if such land is needed for a national road, only expropriation is appropriate.
