- Damages: Money paid by defendants to successful plaintiffs in civil cases to compensate the plaintiffs for their injuries.
- Municipal officers: means the mayor and municipal officers or councilors of a city, the members of the select board or councilors of a town and the assessors of a plantation. See Maine Revised Statutes Title 1 Sec. 72
- Verdict: The decision of a petit jury or a judge.
Damages must be determined using the methods in sections 154 to 154?E, as far as practicable, except that references to the “commission” or the “board” mean the “municipal officers” and references to the “state” mean the “municipality.” [RR 2021, c. 2, Pt. A, §65 (COR).]
Any person aggrieved by the determination of the damages awarded to owners of property or interests therein under this chapter may, within 60 days after the day of taking, appeal to the Superior Court in the county where the property lies.

[PL 1975, c. 711, §8 (NEW).]
