Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appeal remained a live controversy after the respondent reconsidered and replaced the challenged decision.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal became moot because the respondent issued a new decision of 3 March 2014 that annulled and replaced the contested decision and partially granted the appellant's requests.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under Art. 53(3) LPGA, the authority may reconsider an appealed decision before sending its response. That happened here, so the court took note of the replacement decision and found the appeal devoid of object.
