§ 24-3-8. Jury trial on report. Every person aggrieved by the report of the commissioners shall, within sixty (60) days after the first publication of the notice of the filing of the report named in § 24-3-6, file with the clerk of the superior court a notice in writing of his or her intention to claim a jury trial; and in case the aggrieved person fails to file such notice, he or she shall not be entitled to a jury trial. Any person filing a notice may have a trial by jury before the superior court, to determine the amount of damage and benefit to him or her to be apportioned, upon issues to be for that purpose framed under the direction of the court; and if the person applying for a jury trial shall fail to obtain an increase of damages, or a diminution of the amount of benefit, assessed by the commissioners, the person shall pay all costs arising after the application for a jury and the court shall enter judgment and issue execution therefor; and in other cases the costs shall be paid by the town or city.
