Supreme Court of Colorado

Regional Transportation District, a Political Subdivision of the State of Colorado, Petitioner v. 750 West 48th…

September 14, 20152015 Colo. LEXIS 870

Summary

The court held that evidentiary rulings made by the supervising judge control an eminent-domain valuation commission. A commission may rule on evidence when the judge has not addressed the issue, but it may not unilaterally deviate from an explicit judicial ruling, while the judge may instruct the commission to disregard evidence previously admitted by the commission. The court therefore reversed in part, affirmed in part, and remanded to the court of appeals for further proceedings.
