13:17-59. Appeal from assessment or award; enforcement of order or judgment
The owner of any property assessed for benefits or awarded damages incident to any improvement under this act may, within 30 days after confirmation of such assessment or award, appeal from the same to the Appellate Division of the Superior Court by serving written notice of such appeal upon the tax collector and a duplicate upon the appropriate officer of the commission, either personally or by leaving the same at his office or place of abode. The court shall determine whether or not the record contains substantial evidence that the assessment or award appealed from is just and fair, and if not shall make an order correcting the same, or, if the assessment or award is sustained shall so order. The determination shall be by order or judgment for the amount determined and shall be enforced in an appropriate manner pursuant to procedures set forth in Revised Statutes 40:56-57, as amended. The commission may proceed with the prosecution and completion of the improvement and the issuing of bonds and other indebtedness in connection with said improvements notwithstanding any such appeal.
