- CACC76/2001
The applicant's abandonment was not a nullity because he appreciated the nature and effect of his signed notice of abandonment; a subsequent change in the law or a mistake about the merits does not invalidate a deliberate abandonment; therefore the court cannot reopen the dismissed appeal absent statutory authority.
