3.6 Abandoning your appeal

Last Reviewed: October 2025 Reviewed by: Legal information specialists at Justice Education Society

If you’ve filed an appeal, but decide you don’t want to go ahead with it, you have to file a Notice of Abandonment of Appeal (Form 11).

Fill in the form and send it back to the court registry. Make sure another person witnesses your signature.

It is extremely difficult to re-open an appeal case once it has been abandoned.
