The appellant challenged the Department of Institutions’ refusal to issue a firearms carry permit for personal defense. Before the appeal was decided, the Office for Permits and Passports granted the requested permit for five years. The Administrative Court therefore held that the appeal had become moot and struck it from the roll. It nevertheless awarded the appellant CHF 400 in party costs because he was represented by counsel. No court fees or expenses were charged.
Mootness of administrative appeal following subsequent grant of the requested permit; where the contested administrative refusal is replaced by a later decision granting the sought relief, the appeal loses its subject matter and is struck from the roll. Even in such a case, reasonable party costs may be awarded to a represented appellant when equity so requires; court fees and expenses may be waived in the absence of a need to decide the merits.

Whether the appeal against the refusal of a firearms carry permit still had a subject after the permit was later granted.
The appeal had become moot because the competent office subsequently issued the requested firearms carry permit for five years.
The later administrative decision granted the relief sought, so the contested refusal no longer had any practical effect.
Allocation of procedural costs after the appeal became moot.
No court fees or expenses were levied, and the State of Ticino was ordered to pay CHF 400 in party costs.
Although the case was struck from the roll, the appellant was represented by counsel and was entitled to reasonable compensation.
