Question juridique clé
Whether the appellant was entitled to challenge the cantonal costs ruling by attacking the mootness finding and the merits of the lease dispute.
Solution extraite
He could not challenge the mootness determination or seek direct review of the underlying merits in this constitutional complaint; his standing was limited to the costs decision.
Motifs extraits
Standing under federal procedural law depended on the contested ruling affecting legally protected interests. Because the appellant did not challenge mootness itself, he lacked standing for grievances aimed directly at the substantive lease issues.
