Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eminent domain is the government's power to take private property for public use upon payment of just compensation. It can be exercised by entities that have been granted the power of eminent domain by the government, such as the railroad company in this scenario. If Kuan refuses to give permission, the railroad company could invoke eminent domain to acquire the necessary land. The other options, such as partition action, injunction, and writ of execution, do not apply to this scenario as they are legal remedies for different types of disputes.
