Whether the appeal should be struck off after the appellant's letter requesting discontinuance
Decisione estratta
The submission of 18 June 2009 was treated as a withdrawal of the appeal, so the proceedings were discontinued.

Because the letter stated that the appellant could not pay the requested cost advance and sought striking off, it had to be construed as an appeal withdrawal under the applicable procedural provisions.
