Any lottery retailer, vendor or applicant for a lottery retailer or vendor contract aggrieved by an action of the president of the corporation may appeal that decision to the board in accordance with the administrative rules and regulations of the board. Any person aggrieved by a decision of the board may appeal the decision to the chancery court of the county in which its corporate headquarters is located within ten (10) days of the date of the decision of the board. The chancery court shall hear appeals from the board. The chancery court may remand an appeal to the board to conduct further hearings necessary to adjudicate the appeal. Any person who appeals the award of a lottery procurement for the supply of a lottery ticket shall be liable for all costs of appeal and defense in the event the appeal is denied or the contract award upheld. Costs of appeal and defense may include, but should not be limited to, court costs, bond, legal fees and loss of income to the corporation resulting from institution of the appeal if, upon the motion of the corporation, the court finds the appeal to have been frivolous.
