a
require the appointed company to comply with any direction given by the Director as to such matters as are specified in the appointment or are of a description so specified; and
b
require the appointed company, except in so far as the Director consents to the company’s doing or not doing them, not to do or to do such things as are specified in the appointment or are of a description so specified.

Without prejudice as aforesaid, such conditions may provide for the reference to and determination by—
a
the Secretary of State or the Director; or

on a reference by the Director, the F11CMA ,
of such questions arising under the appointment and of such other matters, including (in the case of references to F10the CMA ) disputes as to determinations by the Director, as are specified in the appointment or are of a description so specified.
3
Where any question or other matter falls to be determined by the F6CMA in pursuance of a provision contained in an appointment under this Chapter—
a
it shall be the duty of the Director, on being required to do so by the company holding that appointment, to refer that question or matter to F4the CMA ; and

For the purposes of subsection (3) above, where—
a
the question or matter referred to the F9CMA concerns the review of a price control imposed on the company holding the appointment; and
b
the F9CMA is to decide to what extent it is reasonable to take into account in its determination costs incurred or borne by the company in connection with the reference,
the F9CMA shall also have regard to the extent to which, in its view, its determination is likely to support the company’s (rather than the Authority's) claims in relation to the question or matter referred to it.
