QUESTION TYPE: Point at Issue
PARADOX: Davis: The value of the property is the only relevant measure of damage.
Higuchi: If you can’t use your property then that is also relevant to measuring the damage you suffer.
ANALYSIS: D definitely doesn’t agree with H that other factors are important (“the only relevant factor”). H makes clear that is where he disagrees with D (“more than one factor must be considered”).
___________
- They both think valuation can be done, but they don’t say it can always be done. To disagree, they would have to express opinions on this point.
- H doesn’t disagree with D on that point.
- H doesn’t express an opinion on proportionality.
- CORRECT. Yes. D says the only factors are damage or value of property. H says the amount of time without property is also relevant. Explicit disagreement.
- No. In fact, they both seem to agree general rules are important.
