Arizona Supreme Court

Legacy Foundation Action v. Citizens Clean Election

January 25, 2018

Summary

The court held that the fourteen-day deadline for appealing a penalty decision applies even when the appellant challenges the agency's personal or subject-matter jurisdiction. Because Legacy filed its appeal eighteen days after the decision, the superior court lacked jurisdiction and properly dismissed it. The court also held that the general judicial-review provision does not create an exception to the specific appeal deadline prescribed for Commission decisions.
