Leave to withdraw was granted because counsel established good cause by demonstrating prolonged non‑communication from the third respondent, which falls within r 4.2.1(d) of the Lawyers and Conveyancers Act Rules; the Court accepted the established practice that counsel must seek leave and exercised its discretion in favour of withdrawal after weighing the administration of justice.
