A recent opinion of the Kansas Supreme Court, Miller v. FW Commercial Properies, No. 105,006 (dealing mostly with who is a party in interest in an eminent domain action, and his entitlement to attorneys fees) also reports that the condemnor’s offer was $7,000, the award of “appraisers” was $18,000, and the eventual settlement was $25,000, or over three times the original offer.
