On appeal,\n\nsaid matter shall be tried de novo. Such appeal shall be taken by\n\nthe parties claiming to be aggrieved by filing with the secretary of\n\nthe metropolitan area planning commission within ten (10) days after\n\nthe action appealed from, a notice of appeal which shall state the\n\ngrounds of such appeal. No bond or deposits for costs shall be\n\nrequired for such appeal.

An appeal shall lie from the\n\naction of the district court as in all other proceedings.\n\nAn appeal to the district court from the commission stays all\n\nproceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from unless the\n\nchairman of the commission certifies to the court clerk after the\n\nnotice of appeal shall have been filed that by reason of facts\n\nstated in the certificate, a stay would in his opinion cause\n\nimminent peril to life or property. In such case, proceedings shall\n\nnot be stayed otherwise than by restraining order which may be\n\ngranted by the district court upon application or notice to the\n\nadministrative officer in charge of the enforcement of the terms and\n\nprovisions of the order, decision or ruling appealed from, and upon\n\nnotice to the commission, and upon due cause being shown, the court\n\nmay reverse or affirm, wholly or partly, or modify the decision\n\nbrought up for review.\n\nCosts shall not be allowed against the commission unless it\n\nshall appear to the court that it acted with gross negligence or in\n\nbad faith or with malice in making the decision appealed from.\n\nAll issues in any proceedings under this section shall have the\n\nsame preferences over all other civil actions and proceedings as is\n\nprovided for appeals from boards of adjustment by Section 44-110 of\n\nthis title.\n\nThere shall be no right of appeal from any act of the commission\n\nin its advisory capacity to the council and board or from any of its\n\nacts which are subject to review, repeal or modification by said\n\ngoverning bodies.","path":["OK Code","Title 19"],"source_url":"https://www.oklegislature.gov/OK_Statutes/CompleteTitles/os19.pdf","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:36Z","sha256":"6cd5d38db6ff302387746863f710ec2bc9947ddf7f3ccc775868bb49a1330ebd","source_id":"us-ok","stale":false,"prev":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-19-19-863.22","next":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-19-19-863.24"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
