larger parcel

larger parcel. Eminent domain. A portion of land that is not a complete parcel, but is the greater part of a bigger tract, entitling the owner to damages both for the parcel taken and for severance from the larger tract. • To grant both kinds of damages, a court generally requires the owner to show unity of ownership, unity of use, and contiguity of the land. But some states and the federal courts do not require contiguity when there is strong evidence of unity of use. [Cases: Eminent Domain 96, 135. C.J.S. Eminent Domain §§ 126–127.]
