Question juridique clé
Whether the federal appeal still had a current legal interest after the original project was replaced by a modified project
Solution extraite
No current practical interest remained; the case had become moot because the original project had been replaced and the new permit had become final.
Motifs extraits
By submitting the modified project without reserving the right to revert, the appellant effectively replaced the original application. The final permit for the amended project meant the federal judgment could no longer affect the appellant's legal situation.
