Omnilex summary

The claimant appealed a decision of the Ticino cantonal compensation fund concerning supplementary benefits. While the appeal was pending, the fund issued a new decision on 13 December 2000 that fully accepted the appeal's conclusions and annulled the contested decision. The Tribunal cantonale delle assicurazioni held that, under the applicable cantonal procedural rule, the authority could reconsider its decision before filing its response. The appeal therefore became moot and was struck from the docket. No fees or expenses were imposed.

Omnilex headnote

Art. 3a cpv. 1 LPTCA; reconsideration of the challenged administrative decision before submission of the response renders the appeal moot. The administrative authority may, until filing its answer, revisit the impugned decision; if it fully replaces the contested act in a manner satisfying the appellant's conclusions, the court no longer has a live dispute and must strike the case from the roll. In such circumstances, no court fees or expenses are levied (consid. 1-2).
