Sec. 5.

(1) The board may petition the court of appeals for the enforcement of its orders, and for appropriate temporary relief or restraining order and shall file in the court the record in the proceedings. Upon the filing of the petition, the court shall cause notice to be served upon the person and thereupon shall have jurisdiction of the proceeding and of the question determined, and may grant temporary relief or restraining order as it deems just and proper and to make and enter a decree enforcing, modifying and enforcing as so modified, or setting aside in whole or in part the order of the board. An objection that has not been urged before the board, a member thereof or a hearing officer before whom a hearing was conducted shall not be considered by the court, unless the failure or neglect to urge the objection shall be excused because of extraordinary circumstances. The findings of the board with respect to questions of fact if supported by substantial evidence on the record considered as a whole is conclusive. If either party applies to the court for leave to adduce additional evidence and shows to the satisfaction of the court that the additional evidence is material and that there were reasonable grounds for the failure to adduce the evidence in the hearing before the board, the court may order additional evidence to be taken before the board, a member thereof, or hearing officer and to be made a part of the record. The board may modify its findings as to the facts, or make new findings, by reason of additional evidence so taken and filed and it shall file the modified or new findings, which findings with respect to questions of fact if supported by substantial evidence on the record considered as a whole shall be conclusive, and shall file its recommendations, if any, for the modification or setting aside of its original order. Upon the filing of the record with it the jurisdiction of the court shall be exclusive and its judgment and decree shall be final, except that it shall be subject to review in accordance with established procedures for appeal.

(2) Any person aggrieved by a final order of the board granting or denying in whole or in part the relief sought may obtain a review of an order in the court of appeals, by filing in the court a written petition requesting that the order of the board be modified or set aside. A copy of the petition shall be transmitted by the clerk of the court to the board and the aggrieved party shall file in the court the record in the proceeding certified by the board. Upon the filing of the petition, the court shall proceed in the same manner as in the case of an application by the board under this section and shall have the same jurisdiction to grant temporary relief or a restraining order as it deems just and proper, and in like manner to make and enter a decree enforcing, modifying and enforcing as so modified, or setting aside in whole or in part the order of the board; the findings of the board with respect to questions of fact if supported by substantial evidence on the record considered as a whole shall in like manner be conclusive.

(3) The commencement of proceedings under this section shall not stay enforcement of the board's decision but the board or the reviewing court may order a stay upon such terms as it deems proper.
