In the mid-20th century, a new application of eminent domain was pioneered, in which the government could take the property and transfer it to a private third party for redevelopment. This was initially done only to a property that has been deemed "blighted" or a "development impediment", on the principle that such properties had a negative impact upon surrounding property owners, but was later expanded to allow the taking of any private property when the new third-party owner could develop the property in such a way as to bring in increased tax revenues to the government. </p><p>Some jurisdictions require that the taker make an offer to purchase the subject property, before resorting to the use of eminent domain.

In addition, both the state government as well as the union (federal) government were empowered to enact laws for the "acquisition or requisition of property" (Schedule VII, Entry 42, List III).

In spite of contrary statements found in some American law, in the United Kingdom, compulsory purchase valuation cases were tried by juries well into the 20th century, such as <i><a href="/wiki/Attorney-General_v_De_Keyser%27s_Royal_Hotel_Ltd" title="Attorney-General v De Keyser's Royal Hotel Ltd">Attorney-General v De Keyser's Royal Hotel Ltd</a></i> (1919). </p><p>In <a href="/wiki/England_and_Wales" title="England and Wales">England and Wales</a>, and other jurisdictions that follow the principles of <a href="/wiki/English_law" title="English law">English law</a>, the related term compulsory purchase is used.
