This article reviews the administrative appeal cases and administrative court cases rendered since the new Land Condemnation Act went into force in 2012. While in some cases, the administrative appeal review committee and the High Administrative Court were active in reviewing the assessment of takings compensation, some appeal and court decisions still followed the ill-thought legal interpretations inherited from the old-law era. Also since 2012, all real estate transaction prices have to be reported and registered. To date, hundreds of thousands of transaction data have already been included in the official data set. These precious data, however, were under-utilized, at least not yet used in appraisals of takings compensation. This article contends that hedonic regression models and these data should be used in assessing the compensation due to condemnees. Statistical methods should complement, if not replace, the conventional comparable sale approach now used by real estate appraisers and the competent authority. |
