For day 13 of “Legal Term of the Day" challenge, let's discuss the term "Eminent Domain."👩⚖️ Definition: Eminent domain is the power of the government to take private property for public use, provided that the property owner is compensated fairly. This power is typically exercised for purposes such as building roads, public facilities, or infrastructure projects.👨⚖️ Usage in Context: For example, if the government needs to construct a new highway and a portion of private land is in the path of the proposed route, it may use eminent domain to acquire that land. The property owner is entitled to just compensation, which is determined based on the fair market value of the property.😄 #legalterm #law #eminentdomain #communityengagement #shareyourthoughts
