§ 742. Commissioners’ report; judgment on report

The commissioners shall give notice to one or more of the selectboard members and to the appellants of the time and place where they will examine the area and hear testimony. After completing their inquiries, they shall make a report to the court. The court may accept or reject the report in whole or in part, and by its order or decree may establish, alter, resurvey, or discontinue the highway, and may render judgment for the appellants for any damages as they have severally sustained. When this allowance is greater than was offered by the selectboard members, the court may tax costs for the appellants, or for either party, as is just. (Added 1985, No. 269 (Adj. Sess.), § 1; amended 1997, No. 161 (Adj. Sess.), § 14, eff. Jan. 1, 1998.)
