54: Applicant may withdraw

You could also call this:

"You can cancel your application at any time by sending a written notice."

Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

If you apply for a determination, you can withdraw your application at any time by sending a written notice to the Commission. You can do this for most types of determinations, except for a standard terms determination or a designated multinetwork determination. When the Commission gets your notice, it must tell all the parties involved that you are withdrawing your application.

The Commission will then stop working on the determination and decide on any costs according to sections 55 and 56. You need to send your notice in writing to the Commission for it to be valid.

The Commission has to notify all parties and stop preparing the determination when it gets your withdrawal notice.
