Mississippi § 77-7-295 - Appeal of final finding, order or judgment of commission.

§ 77-7-295. Appeal of final finding, order or judgment of commission.

In addition to other remedies now available, the state, or any party aggrieved by any final finding, order or judgment of the commission, shall have the right, regardless of the amount involved, of appeal to the First Judicial District Circuit Court of Hinds County, Mississippi. If an application for rehearing has been filed, an appeal must be filed within thirty (30) days after the application for rehearing has been refused or deemed refused because of the commission’s failure to act thereon within the time specified in Section 77-7-293, or if the application is granted, within thirty (30) days after the rendition of the decision on rehearing. If an application for rehearing has not been filed, an appeal must be filed within thirty (30) days after the entry of the commission’s order. In those cases wherein an administrative order of the commission is involved, the circuit court may affirm or reverse for further proceedings as justice may require. In those cases wherein the commission’s order appealed from is a judicial finding, the circuit court shall review, affirm, reverse or modify the same and enter therein such order or judgment as may be right and just. Without excluding any other finding, order or judgment of the commission as constituting a judicial finding, the granting or denial by the commission of an application for a certificate of public convenience and necessity, or the granting of denial of an application for a permit to operate as a contract carrier, shall be construed as a judicial finding, and appealable as such. All such appeals shall be taken and perfected, heard and determined either in term time or in vacation, on the record, including a transcript of pleadings and testimony, both oral and documentary, filed and heard before the commission; and such appeal shall be heard and disposed of promptly by the court as a preference cause. In perfecting any appeal provided by this section, the provisions of law respecting notice to the reporter and the allowance of bills of exception, now or hereafter in force respecting appeals from circuit courts to the Supreme Court, shall be applicable.
