Expropriation Expropriation is the legal process by which the state acquires private immovable property for public use.Balances public interest with individual property rightsBased on fair compensation under constitutional lawTypically for infrastructure, transportation, or public utilitiesRequires due process and legal compliance Objectives & Key Definitions under the 2019 Act The 2019 Act streamlines and clarifies expropriation procedures. Objectives: Facilitate rapid public infrastructure development (e.g., roads, rail, utilities). Ensure efficient land acquisition with minimized legal conflict.Key Terms: Expropriation: Legal acquisition for public use Competent Authority: Authorized government agency Affected Person: Property holder under acquisition
of Expropriation Only legally designated state agencies may initiate expropriation.Authorized Agencies Include: Mass Rapid Transit Authority (MRTA) Department of Highways State Railway of Thailand (SAT)✈ Airport of Thailand (AOT) Scope: Full/partial land or building acquisition Temporary land use (Under the Immovable Property Acquisition for Mass Transit Operations Act B.E. 2540 (1997)Declaration of Expropriation Zone The process of declaring an expropriation zone is a critical legal step that ensures public awareness and enables legal rights for affected parties. 1. Feasibility Study & Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)2. Cabinet Approval 3. Publication in the Royal Gazette 4. Notification to Affected Persons 5. Right to Object or Appeal
The expropriation process is not merely a state’s acquisition of private land; it must follow a clear, fair, and legally transparent procedure The state must demonstrate genuine necessity for public benefit to justify expropriation. All procedures must be transparent and subject to review. Property owners are entitled to access information and exercise their Compensation and Remedies Compensation covers full damages from expropriation.Covers land, structures, crops, and other assetsIncludes additional support (relocation, housing, business disruption)Must be paid before or upon possession
Fair valuation ensures justice in expropriation. Based on market price or land appraisal Covers land, buildings, and structures Considers land potential (e.g., corner, commercial plots) Transparency and Consistency Determining compensation for expropriated land Based on normal market value of land transaction which registered at land office as the reference price. Additional amount not exceeding 10% may be granted, taking into account the reasons and purposes of the expropriation
Determining compensation for buildings, structures and installationof materials or equipment Based on estimated construction breakdown which includes : - Labor costs - operational expenses - supervision fees No depreciation shall be deducted, except in case where the building has been abandoned and deteriorated. Determining compensation other damages arising from displacement from expropriated land Expenses incurred during the period of securing a new residence or place of business. Emotional distress caused by relocation from one’s dwelling. Loss of income resulting from interruption of lawful business oremployment. Moving expense for personal belonging and property. incurred in contacting officials
Appeal and Legal Procedures Owners may appeal or file a lawsuit Filing an appeal within 90 days after receiving notice of compensation File a lawsuit with the Administrative Court after the appeal procedure Imposition of Burden In cases where project construction involves the use of underground areas beneath private land, such as the construction of tunnels or the installation of public utilities. the State is not required to acquire ownership of the private land. Instead, the State may impose a servitude over the immovable property in lieu of full expropriation, in order to minimize the impact on landowners and reduce the adverse effects associated with land expropriation.
Imposition of Burden Expropriation vs Imposition of Burden Aspect Expropriation Imposition of Burden Ownership Transferred to the State Remains with the ownerExtent of Use Full property taken Partial use or access only Compensation Full property value Based on limited impactPurpose For stations, depots, roads For tunnels, utilities, or easementsLegal Effect State becomes new owner Owner keeps title under certain conditions
SummaryCompensation must be fair and adequate.Conduct transparent and lawful procedures. Expropriate only the areas necessary for the project.Ensure timely land hand over. Q & A
