Upon receiving notice of the order, it shall be the duty of the commissioner or the commissioner's authorized agent to prepare and transmit a transcript of the record of the hearing, including all testimony, findings and orders, which shall be the record in the cause. If it is made to appear to the court that the order appealed from is unreasonable or unlawful, the order shall be vacated and annulled and the entire matter remanded to the commissioner for further proceeding consistent with the decision of the court; provided, that the appeal shall not operate as a stay of any order of the commissioner unless the court so orders.
