New York Court of Appeals
Walter C. Rose, Respondent v. State of New York, Appellant
February 20, 196924 N.Y.2d 80
Summary
The Court of Appeals modified the Court of Claims award for Walter C. Rose, holding that the destruction of riparian rights is compensable, that the statutory $3,000 moving‑expense cap for personalty does not apply to fixtures, and that compensation for fixtures must be based on the lesser of reasonable moving costs or the difference between salvage and reproduction value, ordering a remand for recalculation.
