Lynch v. St. John's (City)

The Court held that issue estoppel did not bar determination of the valuation question, but the applications judge erred in treating the 1994 Development Regulations as independent enactments; the Development Regulations and City Act provisions were causally connected to the watershed protection scheme that produced the de facto expropriation and therefore the watershed zoning must be disregarded for compensation valuation and the matter is remitted to the Board to determine applicable uses and value.

  • Constructive (de facto) expropriation
  • Issue estoppel
  • Compensation valuation
  • Watershed zoning and land‑use regulation
