Omnilex summary

The appellant appealed a family-allowance decision of the cantonal family allowances fund. While the case was pending, the authority issued a new decision on 18 December 1995 that fully accepted the appeal and annulled the challenged decision. The tribunal held that, under the cantonal social-insurance appeal procedure law, the authority could reconsider its decision before filing its response. Because the dispute had thereby lost its object, the appeal was struck from the docket and no fees or costs were imposed.

Omnilex headnote

Art. 3a cpv. 1 of the cantonal law on procedure for appeals to the Cantonal Insurance Court in social-insurance matters; reconsideration by the administrative authority and mootness of the appeal. An administrative authority may, until transmission of its answer, reconsider the contested decision. If it fully grants the requested relief and annuls the impugned decision, the appeal loses its object and is to be struck from the docket; in such a situation, no court costs or fees are ordinarily levied (consid. implicit).
