1. Withdrawing the lawsuit is the embodiment of the plaintiff's exercise of litigation rights, and whether to file an application should be decided by the plaintiff. Prosecution is the plaintiff's litigation behavior, and withdrawal should also be the plaintiff's litigation behavior. The defendant shall not withdraw the lawsuit except by counterclaiming. If the plaintiff is a person without capacity for litigation, his legal representative may apply for withdrawal of the lawsuit on his behalf. An agent ad litem applying for withdrawal of a lawsuit must be specially authorized by the plaintiff. Withdrawal of the lawsuit is the embodiment of the plaintiff's litigation rights, so withdrawal of the lawsuit must be voluntary. 2. The plaintiff shall apply to the Court of Appeal for withdrawal of the lawsuit. If the plaintiff withdraws the lawsuit, he must apply to the court of appeal. The application can be written or oral. For the oral application, the people's court shall record it in the court hearing record, and the plaintiff shall sign or seal it. This is the basis for the people's court to decide whether to allow the withdrawal of the lawsuit. 3. The application for withdrawal of the lawsuit must be filed after the lawsuit starts and before the people's court announces the judgment.
