Omnilex summary

The appellant filed two administrative appeals on 7 January 1999 against State Council decisions of 22 December 1998 revoking operating authorizations for certain clinics. Before the tribunal decided the case, the State Council itself annulled those revocation decisions on 4 February 1999 and again authorized the clinics to operate. The appellant therefore requested that both appeals be declared moot and waived any claim for party compensation. The Administrative Court removed the appeals from the docket, ordered that no fees or expenses be collected, and awarded no indemnity for costs.

Omnilex headnote

Mootness in administrative appeal proceedings; where the challenged administrative act is withdrawn or annulled by the deciding authority and the dispute thus loses its subject matter, the appeal is struck from the docket for lack of current legal interest. In such a constellation, the court may waive court fees and expenses and deny party compensation, especially where the appellant expressly renounces an award (consid. 1-2).
