At any time after a complaint is referred to the Planning and Transportation Committee, the Planning and Transportation Committee may petition the appropriate court for temporary relief, pending final determination of the proceedings under this chapter, including an order or decree restraining the respondent from doing or causing any act which would render ineffectual a recommendation with respect to the complaint. Such petition shall contain a certification by the Commission that the particular matter presents exceptional circumstances in which irreparable injury will result from a violation of this chapter in the absence of temporary relief. The petition shall not exceed a five day period unless:
(A) A longer period is agreed to by the respondent; or
(B) The court finds that there is substantial evidence to demonstrate that the respondent has engaged in violations of this chapter.
