Property owner brought action against city for inverse condemnation, claiming airport operation diminished his property value. The Superior Court entered summary judgment for city, and property owner appealed.
The Supreme Court of Alaska held that property owner should have been permitted to testify as to the market value of his property both before and after an alleged taking, based on the premise, that, as an owner, he was informed about the property’s value, both before and after the event that purportedly diminished its value.
