Case Notes
A water management area designation is not the product of a contested case hearing, under chapter 91, from which a direct appeal to the supreme court may be brought under this section. 83 H. 484, 927 P.2d 1367.
This section is inconsistent with and cannot stand together with § §602-5 and 602-57, as amended by Act 202, L 2004, and was deemed amended by implication, effective July 1, 2006, to authorize appeals from the water commission to the intermediate appellate court, not to the supreme court. 113 H. 52, 147 P.3d 836.
