Has the property lost value because of an act of public administration? It is possible for the owner to receive compensation for losses and damages, here's how.

In the event that an administrative act results in the depreciation of the economic value of a property, causing financial damage to its owner, the latter has the right to receive corresponding compensation from the entity that caused the damage. This conclusion was reached in the judgment of AREsp 551.389-RN, with Justice Assusete Magalhães reporting, which took place on 5/8/2023.



The circumstances that can give rise to this damage are not rigidly delineated in a list, thus requiring a detailed analysis of the causal relationship in the specific context, in addition to unequivocal proof of the damage that has already occurred. Furthermore, it is crucial to establish the responsibility of the public entity for the act that gave rise to the derogatory situation.
