  Final actions of the state commission are subject to judicial review as provided for in this section. For purposes of this section, “final action” means a rule, guideline, or procedure adopted by the state commission pursuant to this article 5.5. A “final action” does not include a final recommendation regarding a justice or a judge that is made by the state commission or a district commission pursuant to section 13-5.5-108 or 13-5.5-109, an improvement plan developed pursuant to section 13-5.5-110, surveys developed pursuant to section 13-5.5-105 (2)(d), or any aspect of an individual justice's or judge's individual judicial performance evaluation.    A person adversely affected or aggrieved by a final action of the state commission may commence an action for judicial review in the Denver district court within thirty-five days after such action becomes effective. Upon a finding by the court that irreparable injury would otherwise result, the reviewing court shall postpone the effective date of the state commission's action to preserve the rights of the parties, pending conclusion of the review proceedings.    If the court finds no error, it shall affirm the state commission's final action. If the court finds that the state commission's action is arbitrary or capricious; a denial of a statutory right; contrary to constitutional right, power, privilege, or immunity; in excess of statutory jurisdiction, authority, purposes, or limitations; not in accord with the procedures or procedural limitations set forth in this article 5.5 or as otherwise required by law; an abuse or clearly unwarranted exercise of discretion; based upon findings of fact that are clearly erroneous on the whole record; unsupported by substantial evidence when the record is considered as a whole; or otherwise contrary to law, then the court shall hold the action unlawful, set it aside, restrain enforcement, and afford such other relief as may be appropriate. In all cases under review, the court shall determine all questions of law, interpret the statutory and constitutional provisions involved, and apply the interpretation to the facts duly found or established.
