REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsection (a) presently appears
as the first sentence of Art. 43, §197-21
of the Code. The first sentence is
proposed for deletion and new language is
substituted; for a discussion of this
change see the revisor's note to §4—129.
The third sentence in subsection (a) is
proposed for deletion because it duplicates
Rules 103 and 114 of the Maryland Rules of
Procedure and the District Court Rules.

The present provision excluding §§197-9(d)
and 197—13 also is proposed for deletion.
The present statute excludes these two
sections because they prohibit judicial
review of any case arising under either
section after the expiration of 30 days
from the issue of the Secretary's order.
At present, these two sections are the only
ones in this subtitle requiring an
application for judicial review within a
specific period. This reference, however,
is superfluous because no court has
jurisdiction in a case where the
statutorily designated period for filing an
appeal has expired. The present reference
