(a)not to exercise their power under section 88(5) (“the section 88(5) power”) in the applicant’s case,

(b)to exercise that power for a limited period ending before the final determination by the county court of the applicant’s appeal under section 88(1) (“the main appeal”), or

(c)to cease exercising that power before the final determination.

(3)An appeal under this section may not be brought after the final determination by the county court of the main appeal.

(7)An order under subsection (6)—

(b)may not specify any period ending after the final determination by the county court of the main appeal.
