            (a)         grant an application on an interim basis;

            (b)         specify that a condition of a licence or approval is to be effective for a specified period,

and, in consequence, may give any necessary procedural directions in the matter.

        (2)         If the Commissioner considers that an applicant should satisfy the Commissioner as to a certain matter for the purposes of determining the application, the Commissioner may, if he or she thinks fit, nevertheless grant the application on the condition that the applicant satisfies the Commissioner as to the matter within a period determined by the Commissioner.

        (3)         If a licence or approval is granted on a condition under subsection (2), the Commissioner may, on failure by the applicant to comply with the condition, revoke the licence or approval, or suspend the licence or approval until further order.

        (4)         The Commissioner may in proceedings accept an undertaking from a party in relation to the conduct of the proceedings and, on failure by the party to fulfil the undertaking, refuse to hear the party further in the proceedings subject to any further order of the Commissioner.
