I know that, but not all laws are unspecific like that one. In fact, most laws specify in which cases they apply. But with such a law it is impossible to specify anything. It just states that private property is to be used for the "common good". What is the "common good"? I have my understanding of the common good which might be different from yours, so how are you going to codify that? This is a prerequisite to judging entities for infractions against this "common good".

..and that's why you get lawyers to plead their clients cases, various chances to appeal a ruling, a separation of legislative and judiciary powers and ultimately even judges that are voted in and given tenure instead of just hired. Yes, the state humanity finds itself in is a sad one. Patch atop patch atop patch .. for centuries (millenias?) by now. But what can you do? Everything else so far has failed in even more spectacular ways.
