So, you take the land and all the equipment and/or resources on it. The company can maintain their name but it doesn't matter if they lose all the assets. Like how Americans are losing their property to data centers, they maintain their name but lose everything of value.
Great! Sooo... How?
Maybe my question of "How?" is not specific specific enough?
For example, if you just walk into the building and tell everyone to leave because you want to take it, that approach would not work. They would call the police, who would then force you to leave.
Does this clarify my question?
Well, eminent domain is just something the government can do in the USA. You might not have that in your country and I totally understand you not getting how it works. That's fine. Just understand it is a tool that has overwhelmingly been used to fuck over minorities and the poor. With your questioning, you sound like you are supporting it only being used that way.
