Peter Kiewit Sons' Co. v. State

293 N.E.2d 97, 31 N.Y.2d 944, 340 N.Y.S.2d 930, 1972 N.Y. LEXIS 901

Opinion

Order affirmed, with costs, in the following memorandum: The appeal presents no dispute as to the rule of law under which a condemnee is denied recovery for enhancement in value attributable to the appropriation itself (see, e.g., United States v. Miller, 317 U. S. 369); but both courts below, in determining the purely factual issues presented, were warranted in finding no basis in the evidence for application of the rule.

Concur: Chief Judge Fuld and Judges Burke, Scileppi, Bergan and Gibson. Judges Breitel and Jasen dissent and vote to reverse and grant a new trial on the dissenting opinion at the Appellate Division.
