Petrova & Leighton

In the matter of *Petrova & Leighton*, heard before Judge Harland, the applicant sought leave to withdraw an application for review filed on 2 February 2017. The precise nature of the underlying dispute or the subject matter of the review was not detailed in the provided text.

The sole legal issue before the court was whether to grant the applicant's request to withdraw their application for review. This required the court to consider the procedural implications and the applicant's right to discontinue their legal action.

Judge Harland granted the applicant leave to withdraw the application for review. This indicates that the court was satisfied that the applicant had grounds to discontinue the proceedings and that no prejudice would be caused to the respondent that could not be adequately addressed. The court's decision reflects the general principle that parties have a right to discontinue their proceedings, subject to the court's discretion and the potential for costs orders.
