Arkansas Code § 23-42-210 - Judicial Review

(a) (1) Any person aggrieved by a final order of the Securities Commissioner may obtain a review of the order in any state court of competent jurisdiction by filing in court, within sixty (60) days after the entry of the order, a written petition praying that the order be modified or set aside in whole or in part.

(2) A copy of the petition shall be forthwith served upon the commissioner, and thereupon the commissioner shall certify and file in court a copy of the filing and evidence upon which the order was entered. When these copies have been filed, the court has exclusive jurisdiction to affirm, modify, enforce, or set aside the order, in whole or in part.

(b) (1) The findings of the commissioner as to the facts, if supported by competent, material, and substantial evidence, are conclusive.

(2) If either party applies to the court for leave to adduce additional material evidence and shows to the satisfaction of the court that there were reasonable grounds for failure to adduce the evidence in the hearing before the commissioner, the court may order the additional evidence to be taken before the commissioner and to be adduced upon the hearing, in any manner and upon any conditions which the court considers proper. The commissioner may modify his or her findings and order by reason of the additional evidence and shall file in the court the additional evidence together with any modified or new findings or order.

(c) The judgment of the court is final, subject to review by the Supreme Court.

(d) The commencement of proceedings under subsection (a) of this section does not, unless specifically ordered by the court, operate as a stay of the commissioner's order.
