The action of the department in refusing to grant or in revoking a license shall be subject to review by the Superior Court in a proceeding in lieu of prerogative writ. Whenever any proceeding is taken to review a revocation the license shall be deemed to be in full force and effect until the final determination of such proceeding, if the fee for the license has been paid, subject, however, to the order of the said court.
