Key legal question
Whether the supervisory complaint alleging unreasonable delay remained justiciable after the Federal Administrative Court issued its judgment.
Extracted holding
No. Because the underlying appeal had already been decided, the complaint had become moot and had to be struck from the docket.
Extracted reasoning
The complainant’s aim of obtaining a prompt decision was achieved by the Federal Administrative Court’s judgment of 18 February 2014. There was no separate interest in a declaratory ruling on delay, and no indication that the delay resulted from organizational deficiencies.
