§ 3530. Appeal to Superior Court

When the corporation or the owner of land or property is dissatisfied with the decision of the commissioners, within 90 days after the date of the award either party may appeal to the Superior Court. Such court shall thereupon appoint three commissioners, one of whom shall be an inhabitant of the county in which such land or property is situated. The decision of the court shall be final upon the report of the commissioners, and costs, in the discretion of the court, may be allowed to either party. An appeal shall not be taken by the corporation after deposit of the amount of the award, nor shall an appeal be taken by the landholder or owner after acceptance thereof.
