    § 5-452 Notice to file objections; hearing thereon. a. Upon the filing
  of  the  tentative decree, the corporation counsel shall give notice, by
  advertisement to be published for fifteen days in the  City  Record,  of
  the  filing  of  such  tentative decree, and that the city and all other
  parties to such proceeding or in any way interested in the real property
  affected  thereby,  having  any  objections  thereto,  shall  file  such
  objections,  in writing, duly verified in the manner required by law for
  the verification of pleadings in an action, and setting forth  the  real
  property  owned by the objector and his or her post office address, with
  such clerk within twenty  days  after  the  first  publication  of  such
  notice,  and  that  the  corporation counsel, on a date specified in the
  notice, will apply to the justice who made the tentative decree to fix a
  time when the justice will hear the parties so objecting. Similar notice
  for at least ten  days  shall  be  given  of  the  filing  of  any  new,
  supplemental   or  amended  tentative  decree  and  for  the  filing  of
  objections thereto. Every party so objecting or  such  party's  attorney
  shall,  within the same time, serve on the corporation counsel a copy of
  such verified objections.
    b. Upon such application, the justice shall fix the time  when  he  or
  she  will hear the parties so objecting and desiring to be heard. At the
  time fixed, the justice shall  hear  the  person  or  persons  who  have
  objected  to the tentative decree or to the new, supplemental or amended
  tentative decree, and who may then and there appear, and shall have  the
  power  to  adjourn,  from time to time, until all parties who have filed
  objections and who desire to be heard shall have been fully heard.
    c. After the filing  of  the  tentative  decree  or  of  any  new,  or
  supplemental, or amended tentative decree, no award for damages shall be
  diminished  without notice to the owner of the real property affected or
  the owner's attorney appearing in the  proceeding,  and  an  opportunity
  given  for  a hearing in regard thereto, before the signing of the final
  decree.
