Key legal question
Whether the appeal remained pending after the authority reissued a decision granting the appellant full relief
Extracted holding
The appeal became moot because the respondent reconsidred its decision and issued a new decision fully granting the appellant's requested hardship subsidy.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 53(3) LPGA and Art. 83 LPA-VD, the authority could reconsider the challenged decision before filing its response; since the new decision granted all conclusions, the court only had to take note of this and strike the case from the roll.
