The people's court has ruled that the withdrawal of the lawsuit is not allowed, and if the plaintiff refuses to appear in court without justifiable reasons after being summoned, the judgment may be made by default.
Article 15 of the Measures for Payment of Litigation Fees: If the case is settled through mediation or the parties apply for withdrawal of the lawsuit, the case acceptance fee shall be paid by half.
