judgment of that body in the Circuit Court. Upon the transcript being filed the case
shall be docketed in the Circuit Court and tried as an original action. (3) If the clerk fails to certify the transcript to the Circuit Court within five (5) days after the request is made, then the aggrieved person may file an affidavit in that
