Remodeling Just Compensation: Applying Restorative Justice to Takings Law Doctrine

Abstract

Compensation for expropriation in most western jurisdictions aims to provide justice. Yet, while this quest for justice is inherent in expropriation laws, they nevertheless say little, if any, about the underlying conception of justice or how justice should be pursued. A closer examination of courts’ judgments, as well as scholarly discourse on the quest for justice in expropriations reveals a muddled dialogue in which divergent justifications pull one towards different normative and positive conclusions. Currently, expropriation doctrine purports to incorporate a sense of fair dealings with those who become victim to legal devices such as eminent domain. However, based on current case law, the reality of expropriation laws fails to reflect any true practice of justice.

This Article suggests a conceptual change in expropriation laws’ remedial scheme by embracing restorative justice as the underlying concept of what constitutes justice in expropriation law. By establishing expropriation law on a restorative conception of justice, a coherent framework will emerge that is circumstances attentive and will provide practical instruments to overcome some of current law’s most significant challenges. This opens a new venue for both expropriation law and restorative justice. Equally important, the Article provides a novel opportunity to consider restorative justice beyond the borders of criminal law.

In Canada, “compensation is to be paid by the Crown to each person who, immediately before the registration of a notice of confirmation, was the owner or holder of an estate, interest or right in the land to which the notice relates, to the extent of their expropriated interest or right, the amount of which compensation is equal to the aggregate of (a) the value of the expropriated interest or right at the time of its taking, and (b) the amount of any decrease in value of the remaining property of the owner or holder.” Expropriation Act, R SC 1985, c. E-21 s 25. In Germany, the law “protects the concrete existence of assets against unjustified encroachments by public authority.” Art 14 GG.

While different jurisdictions provide factors that should be taken into consideration in compensation determination (such as social obligation in German Basic Law or, “any element of special economic advantage to [owners] arising out of or incidental to their occupation of the land” in the Canadian Expropriation Act) most of them do not specify a conception of justice that underlie the entire compensation regime.

For Realists, doctrine is and should be part of the law. But because doctrine qua doctrine is indeterminate, Legal Realists insist that some legal actors—notably, legislators and appellate court judges—should occasionally use social developments and new cases as triggers for rethinking the doctrine’s conventional understanding. That is, they should be used as opportunities to revisit a doctrine’s normative viability and reexamine its categories’ adequacy.”).

63. These arguments may be divided into two major paths: first, a call to inherently consider distributive considerations in expropriation. See The Distributive Foundation, supra note 31; Jeffrey M Gaba, “Taking Justice and Fairness Seriously: Distributive Justice and the Takings Clause” (2006) 40 Creighton L Rev 569. Second, it may be understood as a call to consider past wrongs including large scale past expropriations that affected specific fragments of society or communities, such as post Second World War reparations claims, post-apartheid reparation and restitution claims and land reforms. For literature that deal with such claims see Gregory S Alexander, “The Complexities of Land Reparations” (2014) 39 Law & Soc Inquiry 874 discussing the historic context of taking land from people in the past); Rahul Kumar, “Responsibility, Reparations, and the Legal Entrenchment of Racial Hierarchy” (2016) 35 Crim Justice Ethics 151 (discussing reparations to the African-American community and takings law); Leif Wenar, “Reparations for the Future” (2006) 37:3 Journal of Social Philosophy 396 (discussing reparations for Holocaust survivors).
