273 Withdrawing complaints

(1) A complaint may be wholly or partly withdrawn by the complainant.
(2) No further action is to be taken under this Chapter with respect to a consumer matter contained in a complaint to the extent it is withdrawn, but--
(a) the designated local regulatory authority may initiate or continue to investigate disciplinary matters, or proceed with disciplinary matters despite the whole or partial withdrawal of a complaint; and
(b) the whole or partial withdrawal of a complaint does not prevent--
(i) a further complaint being made under this Chapter, by the same or any other person, with respect to the same subject matter; or
(ii) action being taken on any other complaint made with respect to the same subject matter.
(3) The whole or partial withdrawal of a complaint in any jurisdiction does not of itself affect any proceedings in the designated tribunal.
