Yates Petroleum Corp. V. Kennedy

Yates Petroleum Corporation (Yates) appeals from the judgment of damages awarded W. G. and Betty L. Kennedy (Kennedy) following a bench trial in a condemnation proceeding. This case is receiving appellate review for the third time. See Kennedy v. Yates Petroleum Corp., 104 N.M. 596, 725 P.2d 572 (1986); Kennedy v. Yates Petroleum Corp., 101 N.M. 268, 681 P.2d 53 (1984). At issue here is whether the trial court erred in the method employed to calculate just compensation, and, if not, whether the judgment awarded is supported by substantial evidence.
