This lecture covers the formal expropriation process, where the state imposes the transfer, removal, or modification of a property right, ensuring full compensation. It explains the legal framework, procedures, and compensation methods for expropriation, emphasizing the distinction between formal expropriation and material expropriation. The lecture also delves into the concept of expropriating neighboring rights, the calculation of compensation based on market value, and the technical steps involved in the expropriation process. It discusses the conditions for material expropriation, the severity of the impact on property rights, and the criteria for determining future use. Additionally, it explores cases of non-classification and downgrading, highlighting the legal and practical implications for property owners.
