Portions of the record may be introduced by stipulation into evidence in a trial de novo as to those parties so stipulating.

(c) Any person aggrieved by any failure of the commissioner to act or make a determination required by this chapter may petition the superior court of Providence County for a writ in the nature of a mandamus or a peremptory mandamus directing the commissioner to act or make the determination.
