the place where the accident occurred or over the person

powers granted it by the article, and whether it has

proceeding and is represented by counsel. In the event that

City having jurisdiction over the place where the accident
occurred or over the person appealing from such decision,
the court shall on motion of either party transfer such
appeal to the proper tribunal, so that the said appeal may
be heard on its merits in the court having jurisdiction to
hear the same. If the court shall determine that the
Commission has acted within its powers and has correctly
construed the law and facts, the decision of the Commission
shall be confirmed; otherwise it shall be reversed,
modified, or remanded to the Commission for further
proceedings. Upon the hearing of such an appeal the court
shall, upon motion of either party filed with the clerk of
the court according to the practice in civil cases, submit
to a jury any question of fact involved in such case[
