Section 096-2-28 - Judicial Review of a Department Decision
Any person may seek judicial review of a final Commissioner or Board decision by filing a petition in Superior Court in accordance with 38 M.R.S. §346, 5 M.R.S. §11001, et seq. and Maine Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 80C, except where otherwise provided by law. The filing of an appeal to the Board is not a prerequisite for a judicial appeal. Pursuant to 38 M.R.S. §346(5), when a license or permit decision or other final action of the Board or the Commissioner is appealed to a court in accordance with this section, the Board or the Commissioner may toll for the pendency of the judicial appeal the running of time for any deadline established in the license, permit or action under appeal.
