Key legal question
Whether the appeal against the refusal of a subsidy remained live after the authority granted the requested subsidy in a new decision.
Extracted holding
The appeal had become moot because the authority replaced its earlier opposition decision with a new decision favorable to the appellant.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 83 para. 1 LPA-VD, the authority could annul its own opposition decision in the appellant's favor. Since the disputed decision no longer had effect, there was no remaining subject matter for review and the case had to be struck from the roll under Art. 94 para. 1 let. c LPA-VD.
