Sec. 11. An appeal may be taken by any offeror, target company, or other party to any proceeding before the commissioner from any final order of the commissioner to the court of appeals for errors of law under the same terms and conditions as govern appeals in ordinary civil actions, except as otherwise provided in this section. An assignment of errors that the decision, ruling, or order of the commissioner is contrary to law is sufficient to present both the sufficiency of the facts found to sustain the decision, ruling, or order, and the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain the findings of facts upon which it was rendered. Within twenty (20) days from the entry of an order, the commissioner shall be served with a written notice of the appeal which states the grounds upon which a reversal of the final order is sought and with a demand in writing for a certified transcript of the record and of all papers on file in the commissioner’s office affecting or relating to that order. The commissioner shall within twenty (20) days after service of the notice of appeal make, certify, and deliver to the appellant the transcript. The appellant shall, within five (5) days after the receipt of the transcript, file the transcript and a copy of the notice of appeal with the clerk of the court. The notice of appeal shall stand as the appellant’s assignment of errors. If the order of the commissioner is reversed, the court shall direct the commissioner’s further action in the matter, including the making and entering of any order and the conditions, limitations, or restrictions to be contained in the order. However, the commissioner is not barred from later revoking or altering the order for any proper cause which may later accrue or be discovered. If the order is affirmed, the appellant may file a new disclosure statement after thirty (30) days from the ruling of the court of appeals if the disclosure statement is not otherwise barred or limited. The appeal does not suspend the operation of the order appealed from during the pendency of the appeal unless upon proper order of the court.
