a. Any operator who is aggrieved by an order issued pursuant to subsection c. of section 8 of this act may, within 10 days after the service of such order, apply to the commissioner for a review of such order. It shall be the duty of the commissioner to provide such hearing at the earliest convenient day. At such hearing the operator shall have the right to be heard personally or by counsel, to cross-examine witnesses appearing against him and to produce evidence in his own behalf. After such hearing the commissioner shall report his findings in writing and make such order as the facts may require. Such hearing and decision shall conform to the applicable provisions of the "Administrative Procedure Act" (P.L.1968, c. 410; C. 52:14B-1 et seq.).
b. Any operator aggrieved by a decision of the commissioner after such hearing may, within 45 days after the effective date thereof, appeal therefrom to the Superior Court. No such appeal shall suspend the operation of an order made by the commissioner; but the court may suspend such order pending determination of the appeal whenever in the opinion of the court justice may require such suspension. The Superior Court shall hear the appeal at the earliest convenient day and shall make such decree as justice may require.
