a notice of rejection is served, and
no appeal against the notice of rejection is made,
the period of 28 days beginning with the date on which the notice of rejection is served;
where an appeal against a notice of rejection is dismissed, the period of 28 days beginning with the date of service of the order dismissing the appeal; and
where an appeal against a notice of rejection is made but is withdrawn before a county court makes an order under regulation 12(3), the period of 14 days beginning with the date on which the appeal is withdrawn.
