JUDICIAL REVIEW.

A. Within the thirty (30) days after the day a notice of

decision of the Board of Review is mailed to the parties, the

Oklahoma Employment Security Commission, or any party to the

proceedings before the Board of Review, may obtain judicial review

by filing in the district court of the county in which the claimant

resides, or if the claimant is not a resident of the State of

Oklahoma then in the District Court of Oklahoma County, a petition

for review of the decision of the Board of Review. The petition for

review shall set out the names of all codefendants in the style of

the case, which shall include:

1. The Board of Review;

2. The Oklahoma Employment Security Commission; and

3. All other parties to the proceeding before the Board of

Review.

The petition for review need not be verified but shall state

specifically the grounds upon which the review is sought. A copy of

the petition for review shall be served upon the Board of Review at

its official address and the petitioner shall also deliver to the

Board of Review as many copies of the petition as there are

defendants. The Board of Review shall issue to each party to the

proceeding a copy of the petition and the issuance shall be deemed

to be service upon all the parties. In any proceeding under this

section the findings of the Board of Review as to the facts, if

supported by evidence, shall be conclusive and the jurisdiction of

the court shall be confined to questions of law. No additional

evidence shall be received by the court, but the court may remand

the case and order additional evidence to be taken by the Appeal

Tribunal of the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission.

B. Within sixty (60) days of the date of service of the

petition on the Board of Review, the Board of Review shall file with

the court a certified copy of the record of the case, including all

documents and papers properly admitted into evidence and a

transcript of all testimony taken in the matter, together with the

Board of Review's findings, conclusions and decision.

C. The proceedings shall be heard in a summary manner and shall

be given precedence over all other civil cases. An appeal may be

taken from the decision of the district court to the Supreme Court

of this state in the same manner as is provided in other civil

cases. It shall not be necessary as a condition precedent to

judicial review of any decision of the Board of Review to enter

exceptions to the rulings of the Board, and no bond shall be

required as a condition of initiating a proceeding for judicial

review or entering an appeal from the decision of the court. Upon

the final termination of the judicial proceeding, the Board of

Review shall enter an order in accordance with the mandate of the

district or appellate court.
