Portions of the record may be introduced by stipulation into evidence in a trial de novo as to those parties so stipulating. (b) The filing of an appeal pursuant to this Code section shall stay the application of any such rule, regulation, order, or other action of the Commissioner to the appealing party unless the court, after giving the party notice and an opportunity to be heard, determines that such a stay would be detrimental to the interests of policyholders, shareholders, creditors, or the public. (c) Any person aggrieved by any failure of the Commissioner to act or make a determination required by this article may petition the Superior Court of Fulton County for a writ in the nature of a mandamus or a peremptory mandamus directing the Commissioner to act or make the determination immediately.
