(a) the notification is taken never to have had an effective notification date; and

(b) the Commission must give to the notifying party of the notification of the acquisition written notice of:

(i) the decision; and

(ii) the grounds on which the Commission is satisfied that subsection 51ABY(2) applies to the notification.

Note: For review of the decision, see section 51ABZZG.
