This section applies if, before the commencement—
a person entered into an arrangement for the carrying out of residential construction work; and
the commission made either of the following decisions (each a rejection decision ), whether in the first instance or as an internal review decision, in relation to the work—
a decision to disallow a claim for the work under the statutory insurance scheme wholly or in part (a disallowance decision );
a decision to the effect that the arrangement could not be validly terminated under the statutory insurance scheme (a non-termination decision ); and
the rejection decision was made wholly or partly because the commission considered the arrangement did not comply with the essential requirements for a contract for the carrying out of the work.
However, this section does not apply in relation to a disallowance decision if, before the commencement, the tribunal made a review decision or binding declaration affecting the disallowance decision.
A consumer for the residential construction work affected by the rejection decision may, within 6 months after the commencement, apply to the commission for review of the decision.
For an application for review of the rejection decision under subsection (3) , each of the following decisions is taken to be a reviewable decision under part 7 , division 3 , subdivision 1 of the Act —
a disallowance decision made as an internal review decision;

Subject to subsections (3) to (5) , part 7 , division 3 , subdivision 1 of the Act , other than sections 86A and 86B (b) , applies in relation to an application for review under subsection (3) .
