Discontinuance with Consent on behalf of Applicant
Post# of 56323
Discontinuance by the plaintiff/applicant
If you are the plaintiff or applicant, you can shorten a trial or application by discontinuing an action or application against a defendant or respondent who:
- is not capable of paying a judgment – that is, he or she might be bankrupt or live elsewhere, and it would be too expensive to try to collect on your judgment;
-is unnecessarily named in the action; or
-has agreed to a settlement.
