Only the claimant to a Supreme Court proceeding can stop the court proceeding without the proceeding going to trial or being settled. No one can stop a court proceeding for the claimant or force the claimant to stop a proceeding.

No one can stop a court proceeding for the claimant or force the claimant to stop a proceeding. While it often happens that a proceeding is abandoned, typically when no one does anything in the action for a long time, that doesn't stop the court proceeding altogether or cancel any orders that have already been made.  To bring everything to a halt, the claimant must file a Notice of Discontinuance in Form F39, and deliver a copy of the filed notice to everyone else named in the proceeding. If the claimant does this too late, after a court proceeding has already been set for trial, the claimant can only stop everything with the consent of the other parties or a court order.
