Description
PER CURIUM. Arkansas L ouisiana Gas Company (Arkansas) filed a condemnation petition to acquire a 40-foot gas pipeline right-of-way across the Allisons' timber land. Arkansas objected to and appealed the award of the commissioners to the trial court. The Allisons, in response to the appeal, asserted a claim for trespass seeking recovery of additional damages for Arkansas' acts of clearing an additional ten-foot strip of timber and pasture grass and pushing timber, tree roots and debris off the right-of-way onto the Allisons' land. The trial court overruled Arkansas' various objections to the trespass claim, admitted evidence of the trespass acts, and submitted special issues as to trespass damage occuring during construction of the Arkansas Louisiana gas pipeline. The jury found in favor of the Allisons on the trespass claim and the trial court awarded damages of $1,000.1 The court of civil appeals reversed the judgment of the trial court as to the trespass damages, holding that the trial court erred in admitting testimony and submitting to the jury the issue of damages occuring from construction activities. The cause was remanded for a new trial on the trespass claim. 620 S.W.2d 207.
