Chapter 56: Local improvements; definition and enumeration; doing work as general improvement
Section: 40:56-57: Condemnation appeal; procedure; further appeal
Except as provided in article four of this chapter (s. 40:56-58 et seq.) as to cities of the first class, the court to which the appeal is taken pursuant to section 40:56-56 of this Title shall assess such damages anew in the manner provided for condemnation by chapter one of Title 20 of the Revised Statutes.
The order or judgment entered on any such appeal or on an appeal pursuant to section 40:56-54 of this Title shall be for the amount recovered by the appellant and may be enforced in an appropriate manner. The order or judgment shall not be enforced until thirty days after final entry, and the order or judgment shall be discharged, except as to costs, and the land freed from the award, if within such thirty days, a certified copy of an ordinance repealing the improvement ordinance is filed with the court. If the order or judgment of the Superior Court be appealed from or otherwise reviewed by an appellate court the words "final order or judgment" as used in this section shall be construed to mean the final judgment of the highest appellate court to which the case shall be taken. The municipality may proceed with the prosecution and completion of the improvement notwithstanding any such appeal, trial or review.
Amended by L.1953, c. 37, p. 704, s. 194, eff. March 19, 1953.
