Appeal from Office of Secretary of State's refusal to file document
Official statutory text
If the Office of the Secretary of State refuses to file a document delivered to the Office of the Secretary of State for filing, the domestic or foreign corporation may appeal the refusal within thirty days after the return of the document to the circuit court of the county where the corporation's principal office is located in this state or, if none in this state, to the circuit court of Hughes County. The appeal is commenced by petitioning the court to compel filing the document and by attaching to the petition the document and the Office of the Secretary of State's explanation of the refusal to file.
The court may summarily order the Office of the Secretary of State to file the document or take other action the court considers appropriate. The court's final decision may be appealed as in other civil proceedings.
