Forfeit v. Eminent domain[edit]

@Moscow Mule: Hello. I'm reaching out in regards to your recent update about forfeiture v. eminent domain. I was on the fence when I first updated that paragraph. But decided to keep forfeiture (more like a "seizure" of property) than eminent domain (which, to my understanding, is done to convert private property to public property for public use). The source specifically mentions extinción de dominio, which roughly translates to "extinction of domain / ownership". I'm not an expert in Mexican law, but I consulted Mexico's federal code regarding this law. It seems like the government reserves the right to "forfeit" land where crimes were committed. Whether they are put for public use or not is not mentioned, so I'm unsure if it is eminent domain. The Spanish Wikipedia page for eminent domain is called expropiación, see here and here.

No, you're probably right (with the "for public use" provision). Please feel free to revert, but I wasn't happy with use of "to forfeiture" as a verb. And using "forfeit" as a verb, it'd be the landowners forfeiting, not the government. Maybe seize or confiscate is the best option? I'm assuming extinción de dominio doesn't imply financial compensation, which would disqualify "expropriate". Moscow Mule (talk) 20:04, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
