If the appellant desires to have the finding of the board corrected, he or she must, within two weeks after the record has been filed in the Superior Court, unless the time is extended for cause by the board, file with the board a motion for the correction of the finding and with it such portions of the evidence as he or she deems relevant and material to the corrections asked for, certified by the stenographer who took it; but if the appellant claims that substantially all the evidence is relevant and material to the corrections sought, he or she may file all of it, so certified, indicating in the motion so far as possible the portion applicable to each correction sought. The board shall forthwith upon the filing of the motion and of the transcript of the evidence, give notice to the adverse party or parties.

Plain-English Summary

Section 22-4 gives an appellant a path to challenge the board's finding of fact. Within two weeks after the record is filed in the Superior Court — unless the board extends that time for cause — the appellant must file a motion for correction of the finding with the board. Along with the motion, the appellant files whatever portions of the evidence relate to the requested corrections, certified by the stenographer who took it down. If the appellant believes substantially all the evidence is relevant, they may file the entire transcript, marking as best they can which portion supports each correction sought. Once the motion and transcript are filed, the board must promptly notify the opposing party or parties.
