Question juridique clé
Whether the insurer's reconsideration of the contested decision rendered the appeal moot and justified striking the case from the roll.
Solution extraite
The reconsideration fully granted the appellant's conclusions, so the appeal became moot and the case had to be struck out.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 53(3) LPGA, an insurer may reconsider a decision or objection decision before its reply is sent to the appellate authority. If the reconsideration fully satisfies the appellant, the appeal loses its object and the proceedings are removed from the roll.
