Pacific Gas & Electric Co. v. Zuckerman

In Pacific Gas & Electric Co. v. Zuckerman (1987) 189 Cal. App. 3d 1113, the court reversed a condemnation award for insufficient evidence because all of the assumptions made by Zuckerman's expert appraiser were "riddled with error," such as failing to consider comparable properties, including in the valuation items not condemned, and disregarding standard inflation indicators in favor of his own index that was purely speculative. ( Id. at pp. 1128, 1136.)
