| | Market Value Adjustment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) |
 | | It is a common way of evaluating the value of property when assessing damages to be awarded for the loss of or damage to the property, generally in a claim under tort or a contract of insurance. |
 | | Fair market value is generally proved by expert evidence, although for commonly traded goods (such as new retail goods or negotiable securities) a court can take judicial notice of the price. |
 | | Often, the fair market value is based on a date prior to the hearing that would establish damages, such as the date the property was destroyed, or the date of a separation when assessing the value of matrimonial property that is sold at a later date. |
