Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
1. The reviewing court may, upon motion
therefor, order that additional evidence in the case be taken by the Commission
upon such terms and conditions as the court deems just and proper. The motion
must not be granted except upon a showing that the additional evidence is
material and necessary and that sufficient reason existed for failure to
present the evidence at the hearing of the Commission. The motion must be
supported by an affidavit of the moving party or his or her counsel showing
with particularity the materiality and necessity of the additional evidence and
the reason why it was not introduced in the administrative hearing. Rebuttal
evidence to the additional evidence must be permitted. In cases in which
additional evidence is presented to the Commission, the Commission may modify
its decisions and orders as the additional evidence may warrant and shall file
with the reviewing court a transcript of the additional evidence together with
any modifications of the decision and order, all of which become a part of the
record on review.
2. The review must be conducted by the
court sitting without a jury, and must not be a trial de novo but is confined
to the record on review. The filing of briefs and oral argument must be made in
accordance with the rules governing appeals in civil cases unless the local
rules of practice adopted in the judicial district provide a different
procedure.
3. The reviewing court may affirm the
decision and order of the Commission, or it may remand the case for further
proceedings or reverse the decision if the substantial rights of the petitioner
have been prejudiced because the decision is:
(a) In violation of constitutional provisions;
(b) In excess of the statutory authority or
jurisdiction of the Commission;
(c) Made upon unlawful procedure;
(d) Unsupported by any evidence; or
(e) Arbitrary or capricious or otherwise not in
accordance with law.
