  "text": "(1) This paragraph defines “the operative time” for the purposes of section 25(7) (revocation or variation of prohibition orders).\n(2) If no appeal is made under paragraph 9 before the end of the period of 28 days mentioned in paragraph 10(2), “the operative time” is the end of that period.\n(3) If an appeal is made under paragraph 10 within that period and a decision is given on the appeal which confirms the variation, “the operative time” is as follows—\n(a) if the period within which an appeal to the Upper Tribunal may be brought expires without such an appeal having been brought, “the operative time” is the end of that period;\n(b) if an appeal to the Upper Tribunal is brought, “the operative time” is the time when a decision is given on the appeal which confirms the variation.\n(4) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (3)—\n(a) the withdrawal of an appeal has the same effect as a decision which confirms the variation, and\n(b) references to a decision which confirms the variation are to a decision which confirms it with or without variation.",
