(9) “Notice of discontinuance” means a notice given under section 389.

[F2971 (11) Section 425A (meaning of “consumers”) applies for the purposes of this section. F2971]
687.This section establishes common rules on publication of decisions which:
prevent the Authority from publishing details about warning and decision notices;
enable the Authority to publish appropriate details of a discontinued decision, but only if the person to whom the notice is given consents; and
require the Authority to publish appropriate information about a final notice, but omitting information which would be unfair to the person to whom the notice relates or prejudicial to the interests of consumers.
688.The provision for publishing details of a final notice applies equally to a supervisory notice (as defined in section 395) but only when such a notice takes effect. The procedure on giving a supervisory notice is set out under the description of section 53 above. If the notice so states, it may take effect immediately, or on a particular date. Otherwise it will take effect only once it is no longer “open to review”. Subsection (8) of this section provides that a supervisory notice is “open to review” until after the period for referring the matter to the Tribunal has expired and until any reference or further appeal has been finally determined.
