The expropriated, along with the acquiring authority, is one of the two sides of the expropriation relationship, but also the weakest given that he/she will be dispossessed of his/her assets or rights. It is therefore important to grant the expropriated party with the due guarantees in order to soothe the loss of property caused by the public interest.
