30. Minor plaintiff attaining age of majority

A minor plaintiff may, on attaining the age of majority during the pendency of any proceedings, either withdraw the proceedings before taking any step therein or continue the proceedings.

No leave of the Court to withdraw the proceedings shall be required but Part 13 applies as regards the matters.

If the plaintiff withdraws the proceedings he shall not be personally liable for costs unless the Court otherwise orders.

Where the plaintiffs are more than one person, the minor plaintiff shall not withdraw the action without leave of the Court but may apply to the Court to remove his name or if he is a necessary party in the proceedings delete his name as plaintiff and make him as defendant on such terms as the Court may specify.

If the proceedings are continued, the plaintiff shall amend the title of the action and the Court may amend it and release his guardian ad litem.
