Abstract

The district court accepted Almota's theory of valuation, but was reversed by the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The Supreme Court reinstated the district court's judgment. Held: Just compensation for a leasehold bearing improvements owned by the lessee is measured by what a willing buyer would pay to a willing seller for the leasehold, taking into account the possibility of renewal. Almota Farmers Elevator & Warehouse Co. v. United States, 409 U.S. 470 (1973).
