Any person aggrieved by the refusal of a commission to issue any license or permit, or the suspension or revocation of a license or permit, the imposition of a fine, the disapproval of a contract, or any other action or failure of action by the commission, may, within 60 days of such action or failure of action, appeal to the circuit court of the host county. If such court finds that the action of such commission, or its failure to take action, was arbitrary, unreasonable, or contrary to the provisions of this chapter, it shall order the issuance or reinstatement of such license or permit, the abatement of such fine, the approval of such contract, or such other remedial action as it deems appropriate in the circumstances. The decision of such court shall be subject to appeal as in other cases at law.
