South Carolina Code of Laws
Chapter 29 - Consumer Finance Law
Section 34-29-180. Judicial review of orders or decisions of board.

(a) Any order or decision made, issued or executed by the Board or its deputies, shall be subject to review by the circuit court on petition by any person aggrieved if the petition is filed within thirty days from the date of the delivery of a copy of the order or decision made by the Board upon such person. A copy of such petition for review as filed with and certified by the clerk of court shall be served upon the Board within five days after its filing. If the petition for review is not filed within thirty days, the parties aggrieved shall be deemed to have waived the right to have the merits of the order or decision reviewed and there shall be no trial of the merits thereof by any court to which application may be made by petition or otherwise, to enforce or restrain the enforcement of same.
(b) The Board shall within thirty days, unless the time is extended by an order of the court, after the service of the copy of the petition for review upon it or its deputy, prepare and file with the clerk of the court a complete transcript of the record of the hearing, if any, and a true copy of the order or decision duly certified. The case shall be heard by the court as a civil case upon such transcript of the record and it shall be the duty of the court to hear and determine the petition with all convenient speed. If, on the hearing before the court, it shall appear that the record filed by the Board is incomplete, the court may by appropriate order direct the Board to certify any and all parts of the record so omitted.
(c) The court shall have jurisdiction to review the facts and the law and to affirm, modify or to set aside the order or decision of the board and to restrain the enforcement thereof. Appeals from all final orders and judgments entered by the circuit court in reviewing the orders and decisions of the board may be taken in the manner provided by the South Carolina Appellate Court Rules.
