If a question has been referred under subsection (1), ASIC must not, in relation to a matter to which the hearing relates:
give while the reference is pending a decision to which the question is relevant; or
proceed in a manner, or make a decision, that is inconsistent with the court’s opinion on the question.
If a question is referred under subsection (1):
ASIC must send to the court all documents that were before ASIC in connection with the hearing; and
at the end of the proceedings in the court in relation to the reference, the court must cause the documents to be returned to ASIC.
