The laws of eminent domain are designed to put the rights of the majority and goals for serving their better good over the individual property rights of another. Eminent domain law also ensures adequate compensation to the parties who are affected by the seizure of property that is being infringed upon or taken. Many people in America are surprised to learn about eminent domain laws.
Examples of the use of eminent domain by a public entity would be the siting of a new pipeline that cuts across your back yard or neighborhood for bringing oil or natural gas from a new production site to a refinery or power plant, or the siting of power lines and required easements along your country road, cutting into your front yard or even the seizure of property for purposes of redevelopment or public safety.
Public utilities, highways and railroads are the most common entities involved in the law of eminent domain. Property owners are never happy about having their property in-fringed upon by power easements or having a 40 foot oil rig dropped into their backyard. That’s why the adequate compensation piece of eminent domain law is so important. Eminent Domain Law is a fascinating area, and this section offers recent writings cover-ing the range of issues within the topic.
