Text: Lastly, the Hui argues that, “[i]f the [circuit [cjourt has no jurisdiction to determine if an appellant were entitled to a contested case hearing after having requested one, any agency could arbitrarily and capriciously deny anyone a hearing at any time, regardless of whether such hearing were required by law, and the aggrieved party could never obtain judicial review of such denial.” However, in this case, the Hui did not request a contested case hearing. Indeed, the Hui concedes that “there is no procedural vehicle for ‘[ajny party or interested person’ to obtain a contested case hearing on whether a petitioner has failed to perform according to the conditions imposed or has failed to perform according to the representations or commitments she made[.j” Consequently, the Hui’s assertion is without merit.
