406. Appeal. Any person or persons jointly or severally aggrieved by
any decision of the Board of Examiners and Registration of Architects
may present to the Circuit Court of the County in which they or any of
them reside, or to the Baltimore City Court, if they or any of them shall
reside in Baltimore City, a petition, duly verified, setting forth that such
decision is illegal in whole or in part, and specifying the grounds of such
illegality. Such petition shall be presented to the Court within thirty
(30) days after the filing of the decision appealed from in the office of
the Board. Upon the presentation of such petition, the Court shall allow
an appeal to review such decision of the Board, and shall prescribe therein
the time within which a return thereto must be made by the Board and
served upon the relator's attorney, which shall not be less than ten (10)
days, and may be extended by the Court. The allowance of the appeal
shall not stay proceedings upon the decision appealed from, but the court
may upon application or notice to the Board, and on due cause shown,
grant a restraining order. The return made by the Board shall concisely
set forth such facts as may be pertinent and material to show the grounds
of the decision appealed from.

If, upon the hearing, it shall appear to the court that testimony is neces-
sary for the proper disposition of the matter, it may take evidence or
appoint a commissioner to take such evidence as it may direct, and report
the same to the court with his findings of fact and conclusions of law,
which shall constitute a part of the proceedings upon which the determina-
tion of the court shall be made. The court may reverse or affirm, wholly
or partly, or may modify the decision brought up for review.
