§ 51-7-45. Dissolution hearing and order.
On hearing, the chancery court shall hear the cause in the same manner as other causes in chancery, and shall dissolve or refuse to dissolve said district as shall appear in the best interests of the landowners, and shall enter an order accordingly. If an order of dissolution is entered, the court shall decree that no further expenses shall be incurred by the district, and all papers, records and documents of the district shall be deposited with the chancery court by the commissioners within fifteen days after said order. Costs of the dissolution proceeding in event of dissolution, including solicitors fees as might be allowed by the court, shall be assessed and taxed by the court to be collected in the same manner as other taxes and assessments of the district; but in event the district is not dissolved, all costs including solicitors fees shall be assessed against the petitioners.
