Can you stop eminent domain?
Completely stopping an eminent domain case is improbable; successfully negotiating for just compensation is more likely. For example, in 2006, a jury determined that a Georgia hospital had to pay about four times the original appraised value of a duplex it wished to condemn for a public use project, according to NBC News. The home was originally appraised at $50,000 to $60,000, and the jury decided that the hospital had to pay $200,000 for the property in addition to giving its tenant $51,000 to assist with her move.
