# §1365. Institution of proceeding for court review of committee findings


If the farmer is dissatisfied with the determination of the review committee, he may, within fifteen days after a notice of such determination is mailed to him by registered mail or by certified mail, file a bill in equity against the review committee as defendant in the [United States](/usc/7/1301.md?p=a-5) district court, or institute proceedings for review in any court of record of the [State](/usc/7/1301.md?p=a-6) having general jurisdiction, sitting in the county or the district in which his farm is located, for the purpose of obtaining a review of such determination. Bond shall be given in an amount and with surety satisfactory to the court to secure the [United States](/usc/7/1301.md?p=a-5) for the costs of the proceeding. The bill of complaint in such proceeding may be served by delivering a copy thereof to any one of the members of the review committee. Thereupon the review committee shall certify and file in the court a transcript of the record upon which the determination complained of was made, together with its findings of fact.
