(b) if the reference was made under section 393(11) (reference to the Tribunal by a third party who alleges that he was not given a copy of a decision notice), “Authority notice” means the decision notice which the applicant alleges was not copied to him; and

(c) in either case, “referred action” means the action set out in the Authority notice.
