The paper deals with the issue of a particular form of revocability of procedural actions on the example of a cassation in criminal cases. The object of the analysis is to discuss the modification of the limits of the cassation by dispositive actions of the parties. In particular, the considerations concern the withdrawal of the cassation after the expiry of the time limit for filling a complaint, indicating the formal requirements for this procedural action and the differences that can be pointed out on this example in relation to the rules applicable at the stage of appeal proceedings.
