Herring v. United States

United States Court of Claims

Decided June 4, 1958No. 206-56Published

1DissentLaramore, Judge

I believe the low-level flights have created not only noise and vibration, but have also created a hazard such as to make plaintiffs’ property practically worthless and hence constitutes a total taking.

I would give judgment to plaintiffs for the total fair' market value of the property as just compensation provided plaintiffs surrender title to the Government. Ferrell v. United States, 49 Ct.Cl. 222; Kugler v. United States, 4 Ct.Cl. 407.
