Legal analysis

According to the relevant laws and regulations, withdrawing a lawsuit means that the plaintiff applies to the people's court to withdraw the lawsuit he filed before. There are many cases of withdrawing the lawsuit in civil litigation, including the case that the plaintiff and the defendant reached an agreement privately and decided to withdraw the lawsuit. When a civil lawsuit is filed, it is necessary to pay legal fees, which are the fees that the parties should pay in the proceedings, including the fees for accepting cases and other litigation fees. If the plaintiff fails to pay the legal fees on schedule and the party fails to pay them within the specified time, the court will issue a notice of inquiry about the payment of legal fees to verify that the party has failed to pay the legal fees, or fails to pay the legal fees without the approval of the people's court, and will automatically dismiss the prosecution. If the plaintiff refuses to appear in court without justifiable reasons after being summoned by a court summons or withdraws from court without the permission of the court, the case shall be dismissed. A plaintiff without civil capacity shall be represented by his legal representative. After being summoned by the court, those who refuse to appear in court without justifiable reasons may be dismissed.
