Part 2: Current Issues Involving Eminent Domain and How Chicago is Effected Thereby
Eminent domain is the legal process whereby the government, the state, an authorized municipality or other governmental agency seizes privately owned real property for a governmental use. In such instances, according to law, the entity condemning the real property must compensate the owners of said property for the loss and use of the property. Recently, Chicago has seen an increase in eminent domain matters whereby the City of Chicago has condemned and taken possession and legal ownership of private property.
The second half of this seminar will examine eminent domain, its effects on private property owners and explore what options, if any, private property owners have in contesting or disputing the taking of their property by a governmental body.
