(a) Except as to matters arising under Chapter 25 of this title, an appeal from the Commissioner shall be taken only from an order on hearing or as to a matter on which the Commissioner has refused or failed to hold a hearing after application therefor under § 323 of this title or as to a matter as to which the Commissioner has refused or failed to make his or her order on hearing as required by § 324 of this title.
(b) Any person subject to an order of the Commissioner under § 2308 or § 2311 of this title and who was a party to such hearing or whose pecuniary interests are directly and immediately affected by any such refusal or failure, and who is aggrieved by such order, refusal or failure, may obtain an appeal from the Commissioner's order by filing in the Court of Chancery in any county, within 60 days from the date of such order, a written verified petition praying that the order of the Commissioner be set aside. The petition shall state the grounds upon which the review is sought, together with a bond with good and sufficient sureties to be approved by the Court conditioned to pay all costs which may be assessed against the appellant or petitioner in such proceedings. If the appeal is from the Commissioner's order on hearing, the petitioner shall also deliver to the Commissioner a sufficient number of copies of the petition and the Commissioner shall mail or otherwise furnish a copy thereof to the other parties to the hearing to the same extent as a copy of the Commissioner's order is required to be furnished to the hearing parties under § 324 of this title. A copy of such petition shall be forthwith served upon the Commissioner, and thereupon the Commissioner shall certify and file in such Court a transcript of the entire record in the proceeding, including all the evidence taken and the report and order of the Commissioner. Upon such filing of the petition and transcript such Court shall have jurisdiction of the proceeding and of the question determined therein, shall determine whether the filing of such petition shall operate as a stay of such order of the Commissioner and shall have power to make and enter upon the pleadings, evidence and proceedings set forth in such transcript a decree modifying, affirming or reversing the order of the Commissioner, in whole or in part. The findings of the Commissioner as to the facts, if supported by the evidence, shall be conclusive.
(c) To the extent that the order of the Commissioner is affirmed, the Court shall thereupon issue its own order commanding obedience to the terms of such order of the Commissioner. If either party shall apply to the Court for leave to adduce additional evidence and shall show to the satisfaction of the Court that such additional evidence is material and that there were reasonable grounds for the failure to adduce such evidence in the proceeding before the Commissioner, the Court may order such additional evidence to be taken before the Commissioner and thereby adduced upon the hearing in such manner and upon such terms and conditions as to the Court may seem proper. The Commissioner may modify his or her findings of fact or make new findings by reason of the additional evidence so taken, and he or she shall file such modified or new findings, which, if supported by the evidence, shall be conclusive, and his or her recommendation, if any, for the modification or setting aside of his or her original order, with the return of such additional evidence.
(d) An order issued by the Commissioner under § 2308 of this title shall become final:
(1) Upon the expiration of the time allowed for filing a petition for review, if no such petition has been duly filed within such time, except that the Commissioner may thereafter modify or set aside his or her order to the extent provided elsewhere in this title; or
(2) Upon the final decision of the highest state court, if the court directs that the order of the Commissioner be affirmed or the petition for review dismissed. From the judgment of the Court of Chancery either the Commissioner or other party to the appeal may appeal directly to the Supreme Court of the State in the same manner as is provided in civil cases.
(e) No order of the Commissioner under this chapter or order of a court to enforce the same shall in any way relieve or absolve any person affected by such order from any liability of any other laws of this State.
