Key legal question
Whether the appeal against the non-renewal of the residence permit had become moot and should be removed from the docket.
Extracted holding
Yes. Once the appellant obtained a residence permit, the current legal interest in the appeal lapsed, so the case had to be struck off as completed.
Extracted reasoning
The new permit eliminated the practical interest in judicial review; the matter was therefore moot and could be terminated by the instructing judge under the simplified procedure.
