Whether the appeal remained to be decided after the authority issued a rectifying reconsideration decision lifting the suspension.
The appeal had become moot because the respondent reconsidered its earlier decision after the exchange of written submissions and withdrew the suspension.
Under Art. 53(3) LPGA, reconsideration is possible until the authority sends its response. Because a further exchange of submissions had been ordered and the respondent then issued a rectifying decision admitting the objection and lifting the 16-day suspension, the court treated this as a valid reconsideration and found the case without object.
