Article 106 Withdrawal of application

An application may be withdrawn with the permission of the court.

Subject to paragraph (3), a person seeking permission to withdraw an application must file a written request for permission setting out the reasons for the request.

The request under paragraph (2) may be made orally to the court if the parties and any children’s guardian, reporting officer or children and family reporter are present.

A court officer will notify the other parties and any children’s guardian, reporting officer or children and family reporter of a written request.

The court may deal with a written request under paragraph (2) without a hearing if the other parties and any children’s guardian, reporting officer or children and family reporter have had an opportunity to make written representations to the court about the request.
