(a) If the probate court determines that a preliminary objection is meritorious, the court shall make an appropriate order including:
(1) Dismissal of the action, in whole or in part, if the plaintiff is not authorized to take the property, or some part thereof, or the acts or omissions constituting the basis for the objection will necessarily inflict irreparable injury upon the defendant;
(2) Conditional dismissal, in whole or in part, unless, within a specified period, the plaintiff takes corrective or remedial action prescribed in the order, including, if appropriate, the adoption of a new or amended condemnation authorization; or
(3) Any other disposition required by the circumstances.
(b) In addition to other requirements of an order sustaining a preliminary objection or determining that the failure or omission constituting the basis of the objection was reasonably excusable, the probate court in the interest of justice may require the plaintiff to pay to the defendant all or part of his litigation expenses incurred because of the plaintiff's failure or omission constituting the basis of the objection. An award of litigation expenses shall be included in the order if the probate court finds that the plaintiff acted or failed to act without justification.
