This chapter shall be liberally construed to promote the ditching, drainage, and reclamation of wet, swampy, and overflowed lands. The collection of assessments shall not be defeated by reason of any omission, imperfection, or defect in the organization of any district or in any proceedings occurring prior to the decree of the court confirming assessment of benefits and damages; but said decree shall be conclusive that all prior proceedings were regular and according to law. In case any assessment shall be held to be void for want of notice, the said commissioners may, upon motion, be permitted to give such owner due notice and ask for a time to be set by the court or chancellor in vacation. The court or chancellor shall set such time for hearing any and all objections that said landowner may have to such proceedings and assessment, may make such order in reference thereto as justice may require, and shall assess to such landowner his just proportion of the benefits received by him by such proposed work. Thereupon such assessment as to such landowner shall be conclusive.
