  • Board: means the Transportation Board. See
  • Justice: when applied to a person, other than a Justice of the Supreme Court, shall mean a justice of the peace for the county for which he or she is elected or appointed. See
  • Remand: When an appellate court sends a case back to a lower court for further proceedings.

§ 44. Powers of the Supreme Court

Upon appeal to the Supreme Court, the Court may reverse or affirm the judgments, orders, or decrees of the Transportation Board and may remand a cause to it with mandates, as law or equity shall require; and the Board shall enter its judgment, order, or decree in accordance with these mandates. Appeals to the Supreme Court shall not have the effect of vacating any judgment, order, or decree of the Board, but the Supreme Court, upon notice to interested parties, may suspend execution of a Board judgment under a decree as justice and equity require unless otherwise specifically provided by law.
