During the Hundred Years' War in the 14th century, Edward III used the Crown's right of purveyance for massive expropriations.

7446-590: The new LARR (amendment) ordinance 31 December 2014 diluted many clauses of the original act. The liberalisation of the economy and the Government's initiative to set up special economic zones have led to many protests by farmers and have opened up a debate on the reinstatement of the fundamental right to private property. In many European nations, the European Convention on Human Rights provides protection from an appropriation of private property by

As part of the deal, the management of the Barclays Center took over the business operations of
7854-549: The previous owner's title. The states and territories' powers of resumption on the other hand are not so limited. The section 43(1) of the Lands Acquisition Act 1998 (NT) grants the Minister the power to acquire land 'for any purpose whatever'. The High Court of Australia interpreted this provision literally, relieving the Territory government of any public purpose limitation on the power. This finding permitted
7956-473: The project Architect of record . Initial concepts for the area were designed by Frank Gehry , whose design proposed a rooftop park (open only to residents of the Atlantic Yards complex) ringed by an open-air running track and capable of doubling as an ice skating rink in winter with panoramic , year-round views of Manhattan . The famed architect's tallest tower, called Miss Brooklyn at 620 feet,
8058-472: The project's initial designs said, in March 2009, "I don't think it is going to happen," and Ratner at one point explored selling the team.

8262-407: The property's fair market value, considering its highest and best use. But though rarely granted, this is not the exclusive measure of compensation; see Kimball Laundry Co. v.

In most takings owners are not compensated for
8364-601: The purview of the "public use" constitutional limitation, although eventually, that taking (of the Oakland Raiders ' NFL franchise) was not permitted because it was deemed to violate the interstate commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution.

In theory, this is supposed to put the owner in the same position pecuniarily that he would have been in had his property not been taken. But in practice courts have limited compensation to
8466-481: The rest of the Pacific Park Brooklyn complex to follow.

The legislature may also delegate the power to private entities like public utilities or railroads, and even to individuals.

In Argentina expropriations are governed by federal law 21.499 of January 17, 1977. It has been used in many locations throughout
9282-521: The subject property in its entirety (total take) or in part (part take), either quantitatively or qualitatively (either partially in fee simple or, commonly, an easement, or any other interest less than the full fee simple title).

Thus, the right to property is no longer a fundamental right, though it is still a constitutional right. If
