After dental of an application, or denial of a renewal of an application, or suspension or revocation of any license, the applicant or licensee may seek prompt judicial review in the nature of a mandamus action of such administrative action in any court of competent jurisdiction. The city shall answer a complaint within 15 days of service (as opposed to the typical 30-day answer period) and will not seek more than a five-day extension of time to answer, if any. The city will consent to and join in a request by the applicant for an expedited hearing, trial or other proceeding.
