Need and Scope of Excess Condemnation: The Need and the Scope of Excess Condemnation
Excess condemnation! It sounds harsh and gives the feeling that it conveys no promise of benevolence. By definition it is “The lawful power, by the exercise of the right of Eminent Domain, to obtain land in a greater area than that physically necessary for a purposed public improvement, although incidental to it.” The writer will discuss several reasons why excess condemnation is most necessary in present-day building of cities, and also the extent to which it should be carried, and the results of its proper use.
