remnant theory 剩余原则

用于确定依法征用财产的数额的理论，即如果征用了财产中为增值而不可或缺的那部分并因此使其剩余部分变得毫无价值，则国家应对所有财产给予补偿，尽管只征用了其中的一部分。

Remnant theory is a theory sometimes applied in determining the amount of property subject to condemnation under the power of eminent domain.The theory states that if only such property as is just necessary for the improvement is taken, there will be left fragments of property of such size and shape as to be separately valueless, so that the public body condemning will be required to pay for the whole, in spite of it only took a part.
