Hunstein, Justice.
A portion of Aeree Oil Company’s property was condemned by DOT for a highway intersection improvement project. Aeree Oil appealed from the judgment on the jury’s verdict to the Court of Appeals, which reversed in part. Aeree Oil Co. v. Dept. of Transp., 216 Ga. App. 586 (455 SE2d 590) (1994). We granted DOT’s application for writ of certiorari to consider the Court of Appeals’ rulings as to evidence involving business losses and construction delay.
1. Business losses occurring before the date of taking are not recoverable. Collins v. MARTA, 163 Ga. App. 168 (6) (291 SE2d 742)…
