Directions for Use
This verdict form is based on CACI No. 3501, “Fair Market Value” Explained, and
CACI No. 3507, Personal Property and Inventory.
The special verdict forms in this section are intended only as models. They may
need to be modified depending on the facts of the case.
In an eminent domain action, the jury finds only the amount of compensation.
(Emeryville Redevelopment v. Harcros Pigments (2002) 101 Cal.App.4th 1083, 1116
[125 Cal.Rptr.2d 12].) The court should determine whether there is inventory or
personal property that is unique and not readily replaceable. The jury should then
determine the value of that property.
If the jury is being given the discretion under Civil Code section 3288 to award
prejudgment interest (see Bullis v. Security Pac. Nat’l Bank (1978) 21 Cal.3d 801,
814 [148 Cal.Rptr. 22, 582 P.2d 109]), give CACI No. 3935, Prejudgment Interest.

This verdict form may need to be augmented for the jury to make any factual
findings that are required in order to calculate the amount of prejudgment interest.
