145: Adequate vs. Just Compensation: A Distinction Without a Difference?
From Come and Take It: The Eminent Domain Podcast by Bobby Debelak
April 23, 2025 · 57 min · Season 2
About this episode
Bobby Debelak presents on the distinction between 'adequate compensation' and 'just compensation' in the context of Texas's takings provision.
A few weeks ago, Bobby was invited to give a presentation to IRWA Chapter 36's Spring Seminar on the history of Texas's takings provision—specifically, the evolution of the term "adequate compensation" and what difference there is, if any, between that term and the U.S. Constitution's use of "just compensation." This episode is a live recording of that presentation. Links: https://irwachapter36.org/ 2025 Spring Seminar: https://irwachapter36.org/meetinginfo.php?id=131&ts=1738095773
