Mississippi Transportation Commission v. United Assets, LLC
Annotate this CaseThe Mississippi Transportation Commission (MTC) filed a complaint to condemn 11.5 acres of highway frontage property owned by United Assets, LLC, leaving United Assets with 12.02 acres. After a trial in the Forrest County Special Court of Eminent Domain, a jury awarded United Assets $1,620,060.66 as just compensation for the taking. MTC appealed, arguing that the trial court erred when it allowed United Assets’ appraiser to testify to the value of the remaining property without supporting market data, and when it denied its motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict (JNOV) and/or a new trial. Upon review, the Supreme Court found that MTC’s failure to object contemporaneously to the admission of the appraiser’s testimony waived the issue, and therefore affirmed.
