Sec. 12-242mm. Withdrawal of assessment deposit.
Sec. 12-242mm. Withdrawal of assessment deposit. An owner who is named in
a notice of individual condemnation and assessment of special damages and special
benefits may apply to the court for the withdrawal of any portion of the sum deposited
by the secretary pursuant to section 12-242ii which is allocated to such owner as compensation at any time following the filing of such notice. The owner shall provide a bond
to the state, conditioned on the repayment to the state, of so much of such deposit as
may be withdrawn by such owner that exceeds the amount of compensation finally
determined or accepted. Interest shall not be allowed on the deposit in any judgment
for such owner except that interest at the guaranteed interest rate on funds in the Short
Term Investment Fund established pursuant to section 3-27a on March 8, 1995, shall
accrue from said date to the date of filing with the court of the individual notice of
condemnation and assessment of special damages and special benefits. Upon the application of any owner, the court, after determining the equity of the owner in such deposit,
may order that the sum so deposited, or any part thereof, be paid forthwith to the owner
for or on account of the just compensation to be awarded in such proceeding. If the
compensation finally awarded to such owner exceeds the sum so deposited for such
owner, the court shall enter judgment against the state for the amount of the deficiency.
If the compensation finally awarded to such owner is less than the sum deposited for
such owner, the court shall enter judgment against the owner for the amount of such
excess and the state may proceed to recover such excess from the deposit, the bond given,
or from the owner. If the court awards compensation in excess of the sum deposited for
such owner, interest shall accrue at the rate provided in section 37-3c on any excess
amount from March 8, 1995, to the date of payment.
