Article 45 Withdrawal or dismissal of appeal etc, before hearing

An appeal, reference or application may be withdrawn by sending to the registrar a written notice of withdrawal signed by all parties to the proceedings or by their representatives.

A party may, at any time before the hearing of the proceedings, apply to the President for an order to dismiss the proceedings and the President may make such order as he thinks fit.

Paragraphs (2) and (4) to (7) of rule 38 shall apply to an application under paragraph (2) as if for “registrar” there were substituted “President”.
