  • Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.

The Commissioner may determine the period of a suspension and it shall remain in effect for such period unless modified or rescinded or until the order upon which the suspension is based is modified, rescinded or reversed.

(c) Absent a consent decree, no penalty shall be imposed and no license shall be suspended or revoked except upon a written order of the Commissioner stating the Commissioner’s findings, made after a hearing held after at least 10 days’ written notice to such person or organization specifying the alleged violation.
