(a) Whenever it appears to the commissioner that any conduct, condition or ground set forth in Section 1065.1 exists, and that irreparable loss and injury to the property and business of a person specified in Section 1010 has occurred or may occur unless the commissioner acts immediately, the commissioner may, without notice, and before hearing, issue and cause to be served upon such person an order requiring such person to forthwith cease and desist from engaging further in the acts, practices or transactions which are causing such conduct, condition or ground to exist.
(b) At the same time an order is served pursuant to subdivision (a) of this section, the commissioner shall issue and also serve upon the person a notice of hearing to be held at a time and place fixed therein which shall not be less than 20 or more than 30 days after the service thereof. The notice shall contain a statement of the conduct, condition or ground which the commissioner deems violative of the provisions of Section 1065.1.
(c) At any time prior to the commencement of a hearing as provided in Section 1065.1 or subdivision (b) of this section, the person may waive the hearing and have judicial review of the order by means of any remedy afforded by law without first exhausting administrative remedies or procedures.
