The court held that owners of an undeveloped parcel whose property was taken in eminent domain by a city for a jury award of just compensation were properly precluded from presenting evidence of lost goodwill where they had no prerequisite ongoing business located on the taken parcel.

Martin Coyne and Brian O’Flynn owned a parcel of undeveloped property in the City and County of San Francisco, on which they planned to develop a multiunit residential and commercial condominium complex.
