¶2¶ 1 The property owner has requested a trial de novo in District Court. The issue at this trial will be the fair market value of the home. That presents questions of fact for the trial judge. A fair trial will require a full presentation of evidence and witnesses. Both parties are entitled to the full discovery afforded any party in a trial in district court. That includes the right to inspect the exteri- *362or and interior construction of the property in question in order to fully inform the fact-finder of all relevant and material evidence. There can be no fair trial without the opportunity to present all admissible evidence to the trial judge. The property owner asked for a trial in district court and now that trial should proceed in a regular and routine fashion in accordance with the rules of evidence and discovery.
