Omnilex summary

A claim brought under Art. 52 LAVS was filed before the Ticino cantonal insurance court. During the proceedings, the Cassa confirmed that the defendants had paid CHF 32,238.45, which was the amount in dispute. The vice-president held that the matter had therefore become moot and ordered the case struck from the rolls. The court also ordered that no fees or costs be charged and that the decision be notified to the parties.

Omnilex headnote

Mootness in social-insurance proceedings; striking off the roll after payment of the disputed amount. Where the amount claimed has been fully paid during the pendency of the proceedings, the controversy loses its object and the court must discontinue the case by removing it from the docket. In such circumstances, and absent a contrary statutory basis, no court fees or costs are levied (consid. 1-2).
