LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 472

222.

Any applicant for a license, or any licensee who
shall feel aggrieved by the action of the State Board of
Health in failing to issue or in revoking such license,
may take an appeal therefrom to any court having equity
jurisdiction in the county in which the property
identified by the application or license is located, or
to a court having such jurisdiction in the City of
Baltimore, if said property is located in said city.
Such appeal shall be heard by such court as promptly as
circumstances will reasonably permit. Such hearing may
be had upon the record so transmitted, but the court may
have such additional evidence as it may deem proper, and
upon the conclusion of such hearing the court may affirm,
vacate or modify the order appealed from. Either party
to said proceedings may appeal from the decision of said
court to the Court of SPECIAL Appeals [of Maryland].

404.

Any county, municipality, legally constituted water,
sewerage or sanitary district, corporation, company,
institution or person, dissatisfied with any order or
regulation of the State Board of Health under the
provisions of this subtitle, may commence, within 10 days
after the service of such order or regulation, any action
in the circuit court for any county or before any judge
of the Supreme Bench of Baltimore City, in any court of
Baltimore City of appropriate jurisdiction against the
State Board of Health as defendant, to vacate and set
aside any such order or regulation on the ground that
such order or regulation is unlawful or unreasonable, or
that said order is not necessary for the protection of
the public health or comfort, in which action a copy of
the complaint shall be served with the summons. The
answer of the State Board of Health shall be filed within
10 days, whereupon said cause shall be at issue, and
stand ready for trial upon 15 days' notice to either
party. All such actions shall have precedence over any
civil cause of a different nature, except appeals from an
order of the Public Service Commission, and the said
courts shall always be deemed open for trial thereof, and
the same shall be tried and determined as other civil
actions. Either party to said action may appeal to the
Court of SPECIAL Appeals [of Maryland].
