Article 299

The plaintiff may, as against all or any of the defendants, withdraw the suit or wholly or partly abandon his claim.

The defendant may, as against all or any of the plaintiffs, confess judgment or wholly or partly abandon his defense.

The abandonment of a claim or a defense, but not the withdrawal of a suit, shall preclude further proceedings between the same parties in respect of the subject matter of that claim or defense.

The other party may, subject to the court’s discretion, object to the withdrawal of the suit.

The costs caused by a party’s withdrawal or abandonment shall be paid by that party.

Where the court rejects the objection to withdrawal of the suit under this Article, in any new suit the party who withdrew the suit shall be bound by the law of limitation in the same manner as if the first suit had not been instituted.
