§ 1-26-603 — Hearing

(a) If the court determines that the request should be
granted, it shall hold a hearing upon reasonable notice to the
parties to determine compensation.
(b) The court shall proceed without a jury and in an
informal manner. The parties may present oral and documentary
proof and may argue in support of their respective positions but
the rules of evidence need not be followed. Neither party is
required to offer the opinion of an expert or to be represented
by an attorney. Unless demanded by a party and at his own
expense, a record of testimony received at the hearing need not
be kept.
(c) Costs shall be claimed and taxed as in other
condemnation actions. Upon entry of judgment, the clerk shall
serve upon the parties a copy of the judgment with notice of its
entry, together with instructions as to the procedure for
demanding a retrial.
