If, as the result of any review under the provisions of section 8-132, the applicant obtains an award from the court greater than the amount determined as compensation by the redevelopment agency, costs of court, including such appraisal fees as the court determines to be reasonable, shall be awarded to the applicant and taxed against the redevelopment agency in addition to the amount fixed by the judgment.

(1955, S. 491d; February, 1965, P.A. 285.)

History: 1965 act authorized awarding of appraisal fees.

Cited. 160 C. 492; 168 C. 135; 215 C. 197; 236 C. 710. “Appraisal fees” are those costs reasonable and necessary for court's determination of taken property's value. 272 C. 14.

Cited. 1 CA 20; 2 CA 355; 4 CA 271; 23 CA 554. A redevelopment agency is an agent of the state, therefore Sec. 48-17b applies to fees for inverse condemnation. 51 CA 262.

What costs of court include is determined by Sec. 52-257. 24 CS 390. Cited. 35 CS 157.
