Subject
The study addresses how to value injunction actions against opposition that concern a property's benefit, emphasizing the use of annual market rent and the role of technical expert appraisal in fixing that amount.
Summary
An injunction claim regarding a property benefit is valued by the annual market rent for the benefit at the date the claim is filed, with that rent determined through technical expertise. Where a claim for injunction is joined with claims for market rent for prior periods and for compensation, the total claim value is the sum of those amounts. Fees and jurisdiction are matters of public order, and the court must verify fees based on the correct claim value rather than accept an undervaluation or rely solely on figures provided by the parties. The claim value determines the court of jurisdiction, the amount of fees, the appellate forum, and whether a judgment is appealable with or without leave.
