Text

Any party, condemnee or condemnor aggrieved by the amount of compensation awarded by the board may, within 20 days after the filing of the report of the board, and not afterwards (unless for good cause shown the superior court extends such time), file in the superior court a petition to have the damages reassessed, and the court shall assess the damages by jury, or by trial without jury if jury trial is waived, and award costs to the prevailing party. The trial in such case shall be de novo. If the sum of estimated just compensation paid to the condemnee pursuant to RSA 498-A:11 exceeds the amount of final judgment, the court shall enter judgment against the condemnee for the amount so paid to him in excess of final judgment.
