Vanover v. Commonwealth

In this condemnation proceeding the Department of Highways is acquiring portions of two lots owned by the appellees. The Department prosecutes this appeal, seeking to overturn the trial courts judgment for $25,000 in favor of the appellees, premised upon two assignments of error: (1) the verdict is excessive and unsupported by sufficient evidence of probative value, and (2) the trial court erred in failing to strike testimony reflecting that a noncompensable factor was used in support of claimed reduction of after value.
