New York Court of Appeals

Banner Milling Company, Appellant v. State of New York, Respondent

July 15, 1925240 N.Y. 533

Summary

The Court affirmed the Court of Claims' award, holding that the good will of a business is not compensable property when the State only appropriates land, and that compensation is limited to the fair market value of the physical property as a unit, not to separate construction expense damages.
