3. Measure of damages. This subsection governs the measurement of damages resulting from a violation of subsection 2.

These costs include attorney's fees, costs and the value of the owner's time spent on involvement in the enforcement proceeding. [1995, c. 585, §3 (new).]

[1995, c. 585, §3 (amd).]

C. If the owner does not accept the offer, the owner may not recover any interest, costs or professional fees incurred following the date of the offer unless the owner later proves that the value of the claim, at the time the offer was made, exceeded the amount of the offer. [1995, c. 450, §2 (new).]

[1995, c. 450, §2 (new).]


7. Issues of fact. The court sitting without a jury shall resolve issues of fact arising under subsections 5 and 6. [1995, c. 450, §2 (new).]
