[1] Re Manik Md Mahamudun Nabi [2022] HKCA 471 at §19:
“(1) The applicant on his own motion applied to the Court to withdraw his application for leave to apply
for judicial review. The Judge acceded to his application, whereupon there was nothing outstanding
in the action. The Judge was correct to conclude the action by ordering a dismissal of the
application instead of leaving the action at large.”
