Any order made by the commissioner pursuant to the provisions of this act shall be subject to review by the Superior Court in a proceeding in lieu of prerogative writ. Upon the institution of the proceeding, the court may stay the provisions of the order. Where the order of the commissioner provides for an increase or decrease in rates, any insurer affected thereby may, with leave of court, pending final disposition of the proceedings in the Superior Court, continue to charge rates which obtained prior to the order, on condition that the difference in the rates be deposited in a special account by the insurer affected, to be held in trust by the insurer, and to be retained by the insurer or paid to the holders of policies issued after the order of the commissioner, as the court may determine.
