Supreme Court of New Jersey
State of New Jersey, by the State Highway Commissioner, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Fiore Gorga and Gloria Gorga…
February 17, 195826 N.J. 113
Summary
The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division's judgment in a condemnation case, holding that fair market value must be determined as of the date of taking based on the existing zoning, but that evidence of a probable zoning amendment may be admitted to show its influence on price. The court clarified the limited role such evidence may play and rejected the notion that post‑taking amendments automatically preclude consideration.
