Del. P.J.I. Civ. § 20.8
Exclusion of Value Peculiar to Owner or Condemning Authority
EXCLUSION OF VALUE PECULIAR TO OWNER
OR TO CONDEMNING AUTHORITY
In determining market value, you should not consider any value peculiarly
personal to the owner, nor should you consider market value to be enhanced by the
owner’s unwillingness to dispose of the property at the time of the taking. Moreover,
market value cannot be measured by the value of the land to [condemning
authority’s name] or by its need for this particular property.
