Key legal question

Whether the proceedings should be discontinued after the plaintiff withdrew the petition because the dispute had been paid in full.

Extracted holding

Yes. Since the defendant paid the entire disputed amount and the plaintiff withdrew the petition, the case had become devoid of object and had to be removed from the docket.

Extracted reasoning

The withdrawal, combined with full payment by the opposing party, eliminated the live dispute, so there was no remaining subject matter for adjudication.

Key legal question

Whether court fees or costs should be charged.

Extracted holding

No. The court ordered that neither fees nor costs be collected.

Extracted reasoning

Given the mootness and the procedural posture, the court exercised its power under the cantonal procedural rules to waive charges.
