A. If it appear to the satisfaction of the court, after having heard and determined all exceptions, that the estimated cost of constructing the improvements contemplated in the official plans [plan] is less than the benefits appraised, then the court shall by order approve and confirm the report of the appraisers as so modified and amended, and the findings and appraisals in such approved and confirmed report shall become the award of the appraisers. B. In considering the findings and the appraisals made by the appraisers, the court shall take cognizance of the official plan and of the degree to which it is effective for the purposes of the district. In case the court shall find that the estimated benefits appraised are less than the estimated total cost of the execution of the official plan, exclusive of interest on deferred payments; or that the official plan is not suited to the requirements of the district, it may at its discretion return said official plan to the board, with an order directing it to prepare new or amended plans; or it may by order dissolve the district, after having provided for the payment of all expenses theretofore incurred. C. Where the property or rights of any property owner of the district located or to be exercised in another judicial district, are finally adjudicated in the conservancy court, and the matter or right so decided is other than appraisal of benefits and damages and does not involve the policy of the district or the general right of other property owners therein, the court shall upon motion of the property owner so aggrieved, filed within five days after such decision, grant a rehearing of such matter and transfer the trial thereof to the district court of the county in which such property or right in question is located.
