Exceptions to report of appraiser
Sec. 4. (a) After the appraisers file their report, any of the
defendants may, within a reasonable time fixed by the court, file
exceptions to the report, alleging that the appraisement of the
property, as made by the appraisers, is not the true cash value of the
property. If exceptions are filed, a trial on the exceptions shall be
held by the court or before a jury, if asked by either party.
(b) The circuit court clerk shall give notice of filing of the
appraisers' report to all known parties to the action and their
attorneys of record by certified mail.
(c) Upon the trial of the exceptions, the court may revise, correct,
amend, or confirm the appraisement in accordance with the finding
of the court or verdict of the jury.
(d) The court shall apportion the costs accruing in the proceedings
as justice may require.
(e) Changes of venue may be had as in other cases.
