Berman v. Parker (1954)

Supreme Court of the United States - 348 U.S. 26, 99 L. Ed. 2d 27, 75 S. Ct. 98, 1954 U.S. LEXIS 1463, SCDB 1954-005

Contributed by 🤖LSDBot🤖

The government wants to take private property in the District of Columbia for redevelopment, and property owners are fighting back, saying it violates their rights.

ICRA

Issue

The issue is whether the Act is constitutional and whether the government can use eminent domain to take private property for redevelopment.

Conclusion

The legal conclusion of the court is that the law allowing for the acquisition of property for redevelopment is constitutional. The court finds that the government's use of eminent domain for the project serves a public purpose and is within its power.

  • A named property within the court's jurisdiction is attached to satisfy an unrelated claim, despite the owner of said property being a non-resident of the state.
  • A named property within the court's jurisdiction is attached as the basis for the suit (e.g., to quiet title), despite the owner of said property being a non-resident of the state.
  • An individual is sued who is a resident of the state, or who has been served with process while physically located within the state.

  • jurisdiction - the action was on the basis of a suit to receive payment owed, and did not relate directly to a property within the state.
  • jurisdiction, as the Oregon property was not attached to the initial suit, but rather was added in after the suit happened - note that Neff did not even purchase the property until after the suit had concluded.
  • Accordingly, the Oregon court did not have jurisdiction over the initial suit between Neff and his lawyer.
  • Enforcement of a judgment without jurisdiction denies due process!
  • Additionally, although judgments rendered by other states are entitled to full faith and credit, if that state did not have jurisdiction to render the judgment, it loses such entitlement.
