To whom is due the compensation from the state for the expropriation of a part of a farm and the cutting down of some of its trees for the expansion of a public road, given that the original owner was not compensated at the time, and the farm was subsequently sold to two successive individuals without mentioning the issue of compensation, and then the state decided to offer compensation?
Compensation for the expropriation of a portion of the farm's land is due to the buyer if the sale occurred before the expropriation, as the buyer then becomes the new owner of the expropriated portion. However, if the sale occurred after the expropriation, the buyer has no relation to the compensation, as he purchased the farm in its new condition.
