(2) If on such return day the member or subscriber shall appear and serve verified objections upon the director, there shall be a full hearing before the court or a referee to hear and determine the matter. The court, after such hearing, shall make an order either negativing the liability of the member or subscriber to pay the assessment or affirming liability to pay the whole or some part thereof, together with $25 costs and the necessary disbursements incurred at such hearing, and directing that the director, in the latter case, may have judgment therefor.
