Once the Board validly accepted the applicant's withdrawal, the appeal was disposed of and the Board became functus officio; therefore there was no power under section 16 of Schedule 1A or by implication to reinstate or re-open a validly withdrawn/abandoned appeal and the applicant's remedy is to bring a subsequent claim under section 38ZO.
