(i) a notice under subsection 154ZH(1) (no further action);
(ii) a notification under paragraph 154ZK(3)(c) (further action completed);

(b) if the Commission has given the entity a notice under subsection 154ZK(1) in relation to the withdrawn complaint—subsection 154ZK(3) ceases to apply in relation to the withdrawn complaint.
(4) The withdrawn complaint continues to be a designated complaint for the purposes of this Act (including subsection 154ZF(3) and paragraph 171(3)(dd)).
