Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the dismissal for lack of current practical interest unlawfully denied access to court and effective judicial review.
Decisione estratta
Yes. Requiring the holder to keep the business closed throughout the proceedings made review illusory and amounted to formal denial of justice.
Motivazione estratta
The waiver was functionally compelled to allow continued operation by another person. Treating that waiver as eliminating standing forced the appellant to choose between unbearable operating losses and losing all review, which is incompatible with Art. 29(1) BV and Art. 6 ECHR.
