Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
Either party aggrieved may appeal from the decision of the
district court to the Supreme Court; but such review or appeal shall
not delay the prosecution of the work on such railroad over the
premises in question, if such corporation shall first have paid to
the owner of said real property, or deposited with the said clerk
for said owner, the amount so assessed by said commissioners or
district court; and in no case shall said corporation be liable for
the costs on such review or appeal, unless the owner of such real
property shall be adjudged entitled, upon either review or appeal,
to a greater amount of damages than was awarded by said
commissioners.  The corporation shall in all cases pay the costs and
expenses of the first assessment.  And in case of review or appeal,
the final decision may be transmitted by the clerk of the proper
court, duly certified, to the proper register of deeds, to be by him
filed and recorded as hereinbefore provided for the recording of the
report, and with like effect.  The fee of land over which a mere
easement is taken, without the consent of the owner, shall remain in
such owner subject only to the use for which it was taken.
