Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the federal appeal proceedings should be struck out as settled by agreement.
Decisione estratta
Yes. Because the parties jointly informed the court that they had reached an out-of-court settlement, the appeal proceedings were declared closed.
Motivazione estratta
The settlement removed the parties' interest in a judicial decision; the president therefore struck the case out under Art. 32 para. 2 BGG.
