As Amended
SEC. 31-3-23. Appeals.
Any person aggrieved by any order or decision of the board may appeal within ten (10) days from the date of
adjournment of the session at which the board rendered such order or decision, and may embody the facts, order
and decision in a bill of exceptions which shall be signed by the person acting as chairman of the board. The
executive secretary shall transmit the bill of exceptions to the chancery court of the county of residence of the
appellant, and the court or chancellor shall hear and determine the same either in termtime or in vacation, on the
case as presented by the bill of exceptions, as an appellate court, and shall affirm or reverse the judgment. If the
judgment be reversed, the chancery court or chancellor shall render such order or judgment as the board ought to
have rendered, and certify the same to the board; and costs shall be awarded as in other cases. The board may
employ counsel to defend such appeals, to be paid out of the funds in the State Board of Contractors Fund.
The remedies provided under this chapter for any aggrieved applicant shall not be exclusive, but shall be
cumulative of and supplemental to any other remedies which he may otherwise have in law or in equity, whether
by injunction or otherwise.
