LAND EXPROPRIATION & COMPENSATION CLAIMS
When private land is required by organs of state for public purposes, such as public roads and other engineering services, the steps that the state must take to acquire such land and to compensate the owners, are regulated by a well-developed body of law. We assist landowners whose property is earmarked for state acquisition to enforce and protect their rights. Our services in this regard include:
-
Submissions to, and negotiations with, the relevant organs of state regarding the need to acquire land and the compensation payable for such land;
-
Constituting and managing professional teams to value land earmarked for state acquisition;
-
Representing clients in litigation regarding compensation and other unresolved aspects of involuntary transfer of land.
