November 20, 196823 N.Y.2d 152
Summary
The Court of Appeals held that the remaining access to the claimants' property after the State's taking was unsuitable, not merely circuitous, and therefore consequential damages were proper. It reversed the Appellate Division and reinstated the Court of Claims' judgment awarding those damages.
