Norwood, Ohio v. Horney
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Norwood, Ohio v. Horney was a case brought before the Ohio Supreme Court in 2006. The case came upon the heels of Kelo v. City of New London, in which the United States Supreme Court ruled that commercial development justified the use of eminent domain.
In the Norwood case, the city wished to seize about seventy homes and businesses to make way for private development, including retail, offices, and condominiums.[1] Homeowners Joe Horney, Carl and Joy Gamble, and Matthew and Sanae Burton, filed three separate cases to stop the seizure of their homes. Following appeals, these cases were combined into the supreme court case Norwood v. Horney.
The court found unanimously for the homeowners. Justice Maureen O'Connor wrote the majority opinion, stating that business interests did not outweigh individual property rights.[2]
