| Definition / notes: | ABANDONMENT OF AN ACTION is the discontinuance of proceedings commenced in the High Court of Justice either because the plaintiff is convinced that he will not succeed in his action or for other reasons. Previous to the Judicature Act of 1875, considerable latitude was allowed as to the time when a suitor might abandon his action, and yet preserve his right to bring another action on the same suit (see NoNSUIT); but since 1875 this right has been considerably curtailed, and a plaintiff who has delivered his reply (see Pleading), and afterwards wishes to abandon his action, can generally obtain leave so to do only on condition of bringing no further proceedings in the matter. http://www.1911encyclopedia.org/Abandonment Declaración expresa del demandante apartándose del procedimiento (desistimiento). O tácita por la abstención en su actividad en el tiempo que establece la LEC (caducidad de instancia). |
