The clerk shall file the report and enter judgment in favor of the commissioners against

the judgment has been entered by the clerk, a notice of appeal and a certified copy
of the complaint filed with the commissioners and by serving upon the appellee, within
the 21 days, a copy of the notice of appeal, who shall within 21 days thereafter enter
his or her appearance. The Superior Court shall hear the appeal on questions of fact
and law and render final judgment. In case an appeal is not taken within 21 days
after judgment, the clerk shall issue execution returnable in 30 days from the date
of the judgment. In the execution, the collecting officer shall be directed to pay
the amount of the judgment to the agent appointed by the commissioners and the costs
to the county clerk. (Added 1985, No. 269 (Adj. Sess.), § 1.)
