Excess Condemnation (1917)

By Robert Eugene Cushman

Book Overview

Excess Condemnation is a legal treatise written by Robert Eugene Cushman in 1917. The book is an in-depth examination of the legal concept of excess condemnation, which is the process by which a government entity can take more land than is strictly necessary for a public project, with the goal of preventing future development that could interfere with the project's success. Cushman explores the history and evolution of the excess condemnation doctrine, as well as its theoretical underpinnings and practical applications. He also discusses the legal challenges that can arise when excess condemnation is used, such as questions of compensation for property owners and the potential for abuse by government officials. The book is intended for legal scholars, practitioners, and students who are interested in the history and theory of eminent domain law, as well as those who are involved in the practical application of the law in real-world situations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
