the rights of any party by the Board; (C) the Board exceeded its powers; or (D) the Board refused to postpone a hearing after being shown sufficient cause to do so

hearing contrary to the rules promulgated by the Board so as to prejudice substantially

of a copy of the final decision to the applicant except that if predicated upon corruption,
fraud, or other undue means, it may be made within 30 days after such grounds are
known or should have been known. In the event a decision is confirmed, the party who
prevails shall be awarded the attorney’s fees incurred in obtaining confirmation of
