Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appeal against the opposition decision of 2011-12-06 had become moot after the authority issued a new decision on 2012-03-22 granting the subsidy
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The challenged decision was annulled and replaced by a new decision favorable to the appellant, who acknowledged having obtained satisfaction.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under Art. 83 LPA-VD, the authority may issue a new decision in the course of proceedings; if the appeal is thereby satisfied, the appellate court need only continue if the case is not moot. Here the original decision was simply replaced by a favorable one, so the appeal no longer had an object.
