As Amended
SEC. 99-41-13. Appeals.
If a claimant disagrees with an order of the deputy director entered under Section 99-41-11, he may, within thirty (30) days after being notified of the order, appeal the decision of the deputy director to the circuit court of the county of the claimant's residence or the county where the crime occurred. Such appeal shall be taken by filing a petition with the clerk of the circuit court and by filing notice of appeal with the deputy director. The deputy director shall transmit the record in the matter to the circuit court of the county where the appeal is taken; however, the appellant, whether the claimant or the department, shall request and shall pay for any transcription costs associated with this appeal. Appeals shall be considered only upon the record as made before the deputy director. The circuit court shall always be deemed open for hearing of such appeals. The circuit judge may hear the same at termtime or in vacation at any place in his district and such appeals shall be heard as expeditiously as possible. The claimant or the department may appeal the action of the circuit court to the Supreme Court in the manner provided by law.
