The Court dismissed the application because the applicant failed to prove by credible evidence that his Notice of Abandonment was not a deliberate and informed decision; the applicant’s explanations (distress, lack of funds, refusal of legal aid, belief about sufficiency of grounds) indicated he appreciated the nature and effect of the document, and the long delay further undermined his claim; therefore the abandonment was not a nullity and could not be restored.
