2006 New York Code - Judgment.

 
    §  1806. Judgment. Upon examining into the truth of the allegations of
  the petition, and hearing the allegations and  proofs  of  the  parties,
  presented orally or by affidavit, as to the value of the interest of the
  infant,   incompetent   person   or   conservatee  in  the  property  so
  appropriated, including the legal damages caused by such  appropriation,
  and  the damages, if any, sustained by the entry upon, use or occupation
  of, or injury to such property by  the  state  prior  to  completion  of
  appropriation,  and, upon inquiring into the facts and circumstances and
  duly considering the matter, if it shall appear to the  satisfaction  of
  the  court  that  the  amount  of compensation offered to be paid by the
  state represents the fair market value of the property appropriated  and
  just compensation for the legal damages caused by such appropriation and
  the  damages, if any, sustained by the entry upon, use or occupation of,
  or injury  to  such  property  by  the  state  prior  to  completion  of
  appropriation,  and  that the interest of the infant, incompetent person
  or conservatee will be substantially promoted by  releasing  or  joining
  with  others  in releasing any such claim for the amount of compensation
  offered  therefor  by  the  state,  the  court  may  render  a  judgment
  authorizing  petitioner  to  enter  into an agreement with the state, in
  such form as may be submitted by the state or any agency  or  department
  thereof,  for  the  amount  of  compensation  offered  by  the state and
  approved by the  court  and  authorizing  and  directing  petitioner  to
  execute  and  deliver  to  the  state  a  release  of such claim and any
  documents or instruments as may be required by the state  to  give  full
  effect  to  such  release  and  authorizing  and directing petitioner to
  receive the amount in full payment of such claim for compensation.
