CACC21/1989

The applicant's affidavits did not satisfy the Medway test that the abandonment was not a deliberate and informed decision; therefore the Notice of Abandonment could not be treated as a nullity and the application to withdraw it was refused, leaving the applicant free to petition the Governor for a Reference.
