Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appeal should continue after the appellant's death
Extrahierter Entscheid
The heir's silence within the deadline was treated as a waiver to continue the proceedings, so the appeal became moot and the challenged decision became final.
Extrahierte Begründung
Because the sole heir did not respond by the deadline, he was deemed to have renounced continuation of the case; the respondent had no interest in further proceedings.
