Only the claimant to a Supreme Court proceeding can stop the court proceeding without before the proceeding going goes to trial or being is settled.
No one can stop a court proceeding for the claimant or force the claimant to stop a proceeding.
While there is no fee charged to file a Notice of Discontinuance, Rule 11-4(4) says that the respondent may be entitled to claim their court costs of the proceeding up to the date it is discontinued.
==More information==The discontinuance of a claim does not itself prevent a claimant from commencing a new proceeding later, including a later proceeding for the same (or substantially the same) claims that were discontinued.
You can find more information about Supreme Court procedure in the chapter [[Resolving Family Law Problems in Court]] within the section [[Starting a Court Proceeding in a Family Matter]].
