Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal court could treat the appeal as withdrawn rather than moot after the lower decision had been annulled.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The filing sought discontinuance because the case had become moot, not withdrawal; recharacterizing it as withdrawal was arbitrary.
Extrahierte Begründung
The request did not express an intent to withdraw. Once the administrative decision was annulled, the case should have been struck from the docket as moot; the cantonal court relied on the withdrawal rules despite a gap in the rules on mootness.
