Sec. 250.
(a) Before denying, revoking, suspending, or refusing to renew a dealer's license the secretary of state shall:
1. Cause an investigation of the licensee after a complaint in writing of any person has been filed in his office.
2. Set a date for hearing and give said licensee notice thereof at least 10 days in advance in the manner herein provided.
3. Cause a record to be taken of the hearing proceedings.
4. Enter a final order together with his findings.
(b) Such final order of the secretary of state shall be final unless, within 30 days after notice of such order is mailed by the secretary of state to the person whose application or license is denied, revoked, suspended or refused, such person shall claim an appeal from such order to the circuit court for the county in which such person resides or maintains a place of business or to the circuit court for the county of Ingham. On such appeal, the court shall review both law and facts as disclosed by the record, and may in its discretion receive newly discovered evidence, but shall not conduct a hearing de novo. The court may confirm, modify or set aside such order and make such further orders in respect thereto as justice may require.
