Terms Used In Vermont Statutes Title 5 Sec. 3539
- Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
- Corporation: A legal entity owned by the holders of shares of stock that have been issued, and that can own, receive, and transfer property, and carry on business in its own name.
- Damages: Money paid by defendants to successful plaintiffs in civil cases to compensate the plaintiffs for their injuries.
§ 3539. Difference in value; adjustment
When the damages awarded on the second location are less than those awarded on the first, the corporation may recover the difference, if paid, from the landowner. If the damages so awarded have not been paid, the corporation may retain the difference and shall not be liable to pay the same. When the damages on the first location have been assessed by the commissioners and an appeal is pending, the corporation shall pay the costs accrued in the appeal, and cause its new location to be recorded, before it takes the benefit of this section. (Amended 2021, No. 105 (Adj. Sess.), § 30, eff. July 1, 2022.)
