262. (Repealed).
M.C. 1916, a. 220; 2005, c. 6, s. 214.
262. In case of contestation, the damages occasioned by animals found straying are ascertained and determined by three experts appointed as follows: one by the complainant, one by the owner of the animal, and the other by the two experts already appointed.
If the complainant or the owner of the animal is not present, his expert is appointed by the pound-keeper. If one of the parties, or in his absence, the pound-keeper, refuses to appoint his expert, the appointment is made by a justice of the peace.
Such experts must be appointed summarily and without delay, upon application of the owner of the animal or of the complainant.
The experts at once proceed to visit the premises and to give their award, which is final.
The amount of damages determined by them is recoverable, in case of refusal to pay the same, by an ordinary action.
M.C. 1916, a. 220.
