44-9-47. Motions and proceedings subsequent to judgment; payment of compensation; nonpayment as abandonment; effect of abandonment on subsequent application.

With respect to the judgment of the court in such case, any party may have all remedies provided by law, including a motion for a new trial, a motion for an appeal, a motion for judgment on the pleadings, or a motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict. Before the judgment becomes final and after the determination of any motions or appeals, the compensation fixed by the jury shall be paid in cash into the registry of the court by the applicant; and, upon the failure to pay the compensation, the private way applied for shall be considered abandoned. Upon a motion made by any interested party and a notice of not less than ten days to the applicant for the private way, the court shall enter a judgment of abandonment accordingly. If the right to the private way is abandoned in this manner and, after notice to the applicant, the court so finds, no application for a private way over the same land shall thereafter be filed by the same applicant or his successor in title.
