Compensation from the City of Poznań for expropriated property
The law firm took on the case of the former owners of land on Żegrze in Poznań.
In the early ’80s, clients’ properties were expropriated. Although the purpose of the expropriation has not been realized to this day, the district governor, in an as yet non-final decision, has refused to return the properties in question, arguing that they have since been given in perpetuity to a housing cooperative.
A refusal to return expropriated real estate can open the way for compensation, since the decision to give the plots of land for perpetual usufruct was legally declared to have been issued in violation of the law. Work on valuing the damage will continue in the coming weeks, and once the estimate is received, the case will be taken to court.
