On the evidence the applicant had recovered from schizophrenic symptoms by 9 October 2004 and there was no evidence of relapse by 26 October 2004 when he signed and lodged Form VII; mere poor judgment does not establish lack of appreciation of the nature or effect of the act; therefore the abandonment was not a nullity and the application to treat it as such is dismissed.
