§24F-1-5. Review of final orders of commission.
Any party feeling aggrieved by the entry of a final order by the commission, which affects that party, may present a petition in writing to the supreme court of appeals, or to a judge thereof in vacation, within thirty days after the entry of the order praying for the suspension of the final order. The applicant shall deliver a copy of the petition to the secretary of the commission on or before the date the petition is presented to the court or the judge and the secretary shall promptly file with the clerk of the court all papers, documents, evidence and other records constituting the complete record in the case or certified copies of the records that were before the commission at the time of the entry of the order which is appealed. The court or judge shall fix a time for the hearing on the application, but the hearing, unless by agreement of the parties, may not be held sooner than five days after its presentation; and notice of the time and place of the hearing shall be immediately delivered to the secretary of the commission. The commission may be represented at the hearing by one or more of its members or by counsel. After hearing the appeal, if the court or judge is of the opinion that an order suspending order should be issued, the court or the judge may require bond, upon reasonable conditions and in reasonable penalty, and impose terms and conditions upon the petitioner that are just and reasonable. Before the day fixed for the final hearing, the commission shall file a written statement of its reasons for the entry of the order with the court. After arguments by counsel, the court shall decide the matter in controversy.
