The court may, after allowing the applicant and the lessor a reasonable opportunity to be heard:
(a) by order change the lease (but not so as to reduce the amount ultimately payable by the lessee to the lessor under the lease), and make such other orders as it thinks fit; or
(b) refuse to change the lease.
177D(3)
The court may, if it thinks it appropriate in the circumstances, stay any enforcement proceedings under the lease, and make such other orders as it thinks fit, until the application has been determined.
