Dutch term or phrase: Afstand

"aanlegster vraagt akte van haar afstand van geding in toepassing van artiikel 820 Grerechtelijk Wetboek".
Is this waiving their right of the main action brought and requesting official notification of this? I have found Article 820 but am not sure of its implication. Any help most welcome.

Deed of waiver

Explanation:

Eiser en verweerder kunnen op elk moment gezamenlijk of eenzijdig beslissen om het proces te beëindigen. Het kan gaan om een afstand van geding - wat niet belet dat de eis later opnieuw wordt ingeleid met een nieuwe gedingsinleidende akte. Of men doet afstand van vordering - wat belet dat de afstanddoende partij later een nieuwe vordering instelt met hetzelfde voorwerp.

withdrawal

Explanation:
I´m well out of my depth here, but might just as well give you my shot, which runs roughly thus:
"Plaintiff/Applicant (I have no idea what an aanlegster/aanlegger is) asks it to be entered into the records that she withdraws from litigation...etc"

hope it helps

I just re-read the posting of 820 at the top of the page, and a bit more careful than i should have done before, in which case I wouldn´t have posted this, since I assume a withdrawal does have as a consequence that "het recht zal worden prijsgegeven"....

Still hate drowning in legalese :)
