Midkiff , Case citation 467 U.S. 229 1984 ref citation , was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States United States Supreme Court held that a state could use the eminent domain process to take land overwhelmingly concentrated in the hands of private landowners and redistribute it to the wider population of private residents. Background With 22 landowners owning 72.5 of the fee simple titles in the state, the Hawaii Legislature concluded that the oligopoly in land ownership was skewing the State s residential fee simple market, inflating land prices, and injuring the public tranquility and welfare, and therefore enacted a condemnation scheme for title. Decision The court s decision looked to Berman v. Parker , in which eminent domain power was used to redevelop slum areas and for the possible sale or lease of the condemned lands for private interest. The United States Congress had the power to determine what was for the public good over the judiciary.
