neutral  Ray East: The us of the gerund here seems a bit awkward, though I do like your variation, too. Perhaps it would be more direct if you wrote, "in the case that I subsequently withdraw..." Just my thoughts.
8 mins
  -> I agree - I wasn't entirely happy with the gerund myself.
agree  Jack Doughty: I think the gerund is OK in legal language, otherwise I would say "me" instead of "my".//I was taught these things once, but not since 1947, so I'm a bit rusty.
1 hr
  -> I'm aware that's common usage, but was always taught that a gerund behaves like a noun - in which case "my" is more correct, is it not?

Oops, typo. These testimonies* Or "my testimony," etc.

"this testimony," "this statment," I shouldn't have written "thESE testimonIES," now that I think over it again.

One last edit, I promise. ;-) I think that "in the event" would sound more official.

agree  Olga Cartlidge: "to retract a statement'' also seems to be common. // 'in the event" sounds more subtle than 'in case". However, I ve often heard "witness statement" used in police reports rather than 'testimony".
