Terms Used In Missouri Laws 88.090
- Common law: The legal system that originated in England and is now in use in the United States. It is based on judicial decisions rather than legislative action.
- Damages: Money paid by defendants to successful plaintiffs in civil cases to compensate the plaintiffs for their injuries.
- Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
The report of the commissioners may be reviewed by the circuit court on written exceptions, filed by any party in the clerk’s office within ten days after the filing of such report, and the court shall make such order therein as right and justice may require, and may order a new appraisement on good cause shown, but the hearing of such exceptions shall be summary, and the court shall fix a day therefor without delay. And any party shall be entitled to have the damages assessed by a trial by jury as at common law, upon claiming the right in the exceptions to the report of the commissioners.
