§4109 Judicial review and enforcement

Summary

If a person is unhappy with a final order of the Board, they may ask the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to review that order. They must file the case within 60 days after the order was issued, unless section 4114(d) says otherwise. The Board can ask that same Appeals Court to enforce its orders or to get temporary relief or a restraining order. The rules in subsection (c) of section 7123 of title 5 apply here. When the Board files a complaint under section 4116 alleging an unfair labor practice, it may go to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia for temporary relief (including a restraining order). The court will notify the person and may grant temporary relief it finds appropriate, but it cannot do so if the relief would stop the Department from doing its essential work or if the Board does not show probable cause of an unfair labor practice.
