However, late Wednesday November 23, the complainants filed a separate Bill of Exceptions to the Board of Commissioners against the ruling of the hearing officer of November 20, 2017 and a Joint Motion of Recusal for the chairman of the commission.
Subsequently, both the motion for recusal and the bill of exceptions were executed on that the day.
(17) It was designed to fix errors of law, not facts, appearing from the proceedings below or as preserved in a document known as a bill of exceptions. (18) This writ was not designed to find justice in the law courts.
