'Notice of abandonment'

If you decide not to proceed with your appeal, you may abandon it by filing a Notice of abandonment [PDF, 102KB].

You can formally abandon your appeal up to and including the date of the appeal but you should abandon as soon as you decide not to go ahead. Fax the 'Notice of abandonment' to the Court of Appeal as soon as possible and then post the original to the registry. If you do not lodge this 'Notice of abandonment', your appeal will still go ahead. If you are in prison, you will be brought before the Court of Appeal even though you do not wish to go ahead with it.
