I. An interested party who is aggrieved by the decision of the appellate board or the commissioner, may within 20 days of the date of mailing of the board's decision request that the board reconsider its decision or that the board order a new hearing specifying in the request the grounds therefor. The appellate board shall within 30 days deny or grant the motion for reconsideration or order a new hearing.
II. An interested party who has exhausted all administrative remedies within the department and who is aggrieved by a final decision of the appeal tribunal as reversed, modified, or affirmed by the appellate board after a motion for reconsideration is granted or denied or after the decision on rehearing, may appeal that decision to the supreme court, but only if the notice of that appeal is filed with the court within 30 days after the date of mailing of the decision from which the appeal is taken and the notice of appeal is served upon the commissioner and the attorney general contemporaneously with the filing of that notice of appeal with the court. In addition, that notice of appeal shall be served upon all parties of record. The service required by this section may be in person or by certified mail, return receipt requested. The appeal shall be styled "appeal of name of the party filing the appeal regarding unemployment compensation". Any interested party, and the state, shall have a right to participate as a party in the appellate proceedings before the court. The notice of appeal shall specifically identify each error for which review is sought. The filing of a notice of appeal shall not stay enforcement of the appeal tribunal decision.
III. Within 60 days after the service of the notice of appeal upon the commissioner, or within such further time allowed by the court, the commissioner shall transmit to the court a certified copy of the entire record of the proceeding. By stipulation of all parties to the review proceeding, the record may be shortened. If the record is shortened by stipulation, the court may subsequently require additional portions of the record certified.
IV. The review of the court shall be confined to the record. No evidence shall be received in the court. The court may require oral argument or written briefs, or both.
V. The court shall not substitute its judgment for that of the appeal tribunal as to the weight of the evidence on questions of fact. The court shall reverse or modify the decision of the appeal tribunal, or remand the case for further proceedings, as determined by the court, only if the substantial rights of the appellant had been prejudiced because the administrative findings, inferences, or conclusions are:
(a) In violation of constitutional or statutory provisions;
(b) In excess of statutory authority;
(c) Made upon unlawful procedures;
(d) Clearly erroneous in view of the substantial evidence on the whole record; or
(e) Affected by other error of law.
Otherwise, the court shall affirm the appeal tribunal's decision.
VI. For the purposes of this section the commissioner shall be an interested party.
