     246.55 Appeal from order of commissioner. 

    Clients or relatives aggrieved by an order of the 
 commissioner under sections 246.50 to 246.55 may appeal from the 
 order to the district court of the county in which they reside 
 by serving notice of the appeal on the commissioner and filing 
 the notice, with proof of service, in the office of the court 
 administrator of the district court of the county within 30 days 
 from the date the order was mailed, or a later date not 
 exceeding one year from the date of mailing as permitted by 
 order of the court.  The appeal may be brought on for hearing by 
 the appellant or the commissioner upon ten days' written 
 notice.  It shall be tried to the court which shall hear 
 evidence it deems necessary and by order affirm or modify the 
 order of the commissioner.  When any order or determination of 
 the commissioner made under sections 246.50 to 246.55 is brought 
 in question on appeal, the order or determination shall be 
 determined de novo.  Appeal from the order of the district court 
 may be taken as in other civil cases.
