(2) The Commission must notify the entity in writing that the complaint has been withdrawn. (3) From the time the notification in subsection (2) is given: (a) if the Commission has not yet given the entity a notice under subsection 154ZH(1) or 154ZK(1) in relation to the withdrawn complaint—sections 154ZG and 154ZH cease to apply in relation to the withdrawn complaint; and (b) if the Commission has given the entity a notice under subsection 154ZK(1) in relation to the withdrawn complaint—subsection 154ZK(3) ceases to apply in relation to the withdrawn complaint. (4) The withdrawn complaint continues to be a designated complaint for the purposes of this Act (including subsection 154ZF(3) and paragraph 171(3)(dd)).
