I don't really understand your point.  It is the _complaint_ whose
justification (or lack of it) should be decided on, and the decision
communicated.   But if you prefer, please pretend I wrote something
like
  Instead, the decision (complaint not upheld, no action will be taken)
  should be communicated to the complainant.
