Attributive Relative Non-Limiting Continuative ClausesThe antecedent of the ARNCC is not just a noun or pronoun, but the whole main clause. They are added as an afterthought and continue, as it were, the idea expressed in the main clause: Julia refused, which was unwise (= 'and that was unwise'). Continuative clauses are joined syndetically, by means of the subordinator which. Sometimes a continuative clause opens with a combination of a preposition, the pronoun which, and a noun like case or event, which is a very general word for a situation: I was reprimanded (объявлять выговор) by the boss, at which point I gave her notice (ставить (кого-л.) в известность; предупреждать, увольнять (с работы)).
