Housing Authority of the Birmingham District v. Logan Properties, Inc., and Alamerica Bank

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court reversed the Jefferson Circuit Court’s judgment for Logan Properties, holding that the Housing Authority of the Birmingham District’s actions did not constitute a compensable taking under Ala. Const. § 235 because there was no direct physical injury to the property. Accordingly, the trial court should have entered judgment as a matter of law for HABD and the awards of damages and litigation expenses were reversed and remanded.
