As Amended
SEC. 49-15-67. Right of appeal.
Any person aggrieved by an order of the commission may file a written petition with the commission, setting forth the grounds of complaint and the commission shall thereupon fix the time and place for a hearing to be held, notifying the petitioner thereof. At such hearing, the petitioner and any other interested parties may appear and submit evidence. Following the hearing, if the party presenting the petition is still dissatisfied with the decision of the commission, the commission's order may be appealed to the circuit court upon proper appeal filed within ten (10) days after the final order of determination issued by the commission. The manner of taking the appeal shall be by bill of exceptions to the Circuit Court of Harrison County, Mississippi, which bill of exceptions shall be signed by the person acting as the chairman of the commission. The clerk of the commission thereof shall transmit the bill of exceptions to the circuit court on or before the first day of the next succeeding term, or at once if the court be in session; and the court shall hear and determine the same 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 circuit court shall render such judgment as the commission ought to have rendered, and certify the same to the commission, and costs shall be awarded as in other cases.
