Terms Used In New Hampshire Revised Statutes 161-C:27

  • 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.
  • Commissioner: means the commissioner of the New Hampshire department of health and human services, or his designee or authorized representative. See New Hampshire Revised Statutes 161-C:2
  • Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.
  • Person: means an individual, trust, estate, partnership, association, company, corporation, political subdivision of the state or instrumentality of the state. See New Hampshire Revised Statutes 161-C:2
Any person who is aggrieved by any action of the commissioner relative to the administrative process under this chapter may appeal to the superior court within 30 days of the receipt of the decision of a hearings officer. Such appeal shall be restricted to a review of the record. Upon review of the record, the court in its discretion may request the submission of additional evidence and order a hearing on the additional evidence.
