Abstract
The institution of the abandonment of the procedure has not been exempt from discussion, especially when it comes to its jurisprudential application. Its nature as a special incident has not prevented important elements of its composition from being left open and —often— contradictory by the High Courts of Justice, so that a unifying work of the Supreme Court is required. A review of several sentences handed down in the last twelve months shows that the jurisprudence seems to walk between two interpretative positions: a wide one and a restrictive other.
