(a) Any person aggrieved by the granting or denial of a license by the county council after public hearing under this division may appeal to the circuit court of the county for a review of such granting or denial.
(b) Any person aggrieved by the revocation or suspension or refusal to renew a license by the director may appeal to the county board of appeals. Such person shall file a written notice of appeal with the county board of appeals within twenty (20) days after notice by the director of the revocation or suspension or refusal to renew a license. Upon receiving such appeal, the county board of appeals shall hold a hearing thereon as soon as
practical. The county board of appeals shall either affirm, rescind or modify the action of the director. All actions, decisions and determinations of the director or the county board of appeals shall be made and taken only in accordance with the provisions of this division or any other applicable laws, ordinances or regulations, but nothing herein contained shall prevent recourse to a court of competent jurisdiction after a decision on such appeal. (Mont. Co. Code 1965, § 75-42.)
