Section 237: Withdrawal of remaining charges on conviction on one of several charges

(1) Where more than one charge is made against a defendant and a conviction has been had on one or more of them, the prosecutor may, with the consent of the court, withdraw the remaining charge or charges or the court, of its own motion, may stay the trial of the charge or charges.
(2) A withdrawal has the effect of an acquittal on the charge or charges unless the conviction which has been had is set aside, in which case, subject to any order of the court setting aside such conviction, the court before which the withdrawal was made may, on the request of the prosecutor, proceed on the charge or charges withdrawn.
