                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

WHO DETERMINES ISSUE OF JUST COMPENSATION (§ 25.1-220)

The issue of just compensation shall be determined by a commission or a jury,
upon a timely election made by an owner as provided in § 25.1-213. However, by
agreement of the petitioner and all the parties who are sui juris that have
appeared or responded, or, if no owner upon proper notice has appeared or
responded, or has filed an answer and grounds of defense that fails to elect to
have the determination of just compensation made by either commissioners or a
jury, then, upon motion of the petitioner, the issue of just compensation may be
determined by the court.
