§ 5006. Court review
(a) Any person, including the enforcing officer, aggrieved by any decision of the board,
may appeal to the Superior Court. The appeal shall not stay proceedings upon the
decision appealed from, but the court may on application, upon notice to the board
and on due cause shown, grant a restraining order. The board shall not be required
to return the original papers acted on by it, but it shall be sufficient to return
certified or sworn copies thereof or such portions thereof as may be pertinent and
material to show the grounds of the decision appealed from and shall be verified.
(b) If upon the hearing it appears to the court that testimony is necessary for the proper
disposition of the matter, it may take evidence or appoint a referee to take such
evidence as it may direct and report the same to the court with his or her findings
of fact and conclusions of law, which shall constitute a part of the proceedings upon
which the determination of the court shall be made. The court may reverse or affirm
wholly or partly or may modify the decision appealed from. (Added 1969, No. 270 (Adj. Sess.); amended 1971, No. 185 (Adj. Sess.), § 206, eff. March 29, 1972; 1973, No. 193 (Adj. Sess.), § 3, eff. April 9, 1974.)
