Omnilex headnote

Art. 66 al. 1 LTF; withdrawal of appeal and costs: when an appeal is withdrawn, the Federal Court merely takes note of the withdrawal and strikes the case from the docket. The proceedings are terminated without a merits decision. As a rule, the withdrawing appellant bears the judicial costs, unless special circumstances justify a different allocation (consid. 1).
