Questão jurídica principal
Whether the dismissal of the administrative proceeding as moot was lawful
Decisão extraída
The proceeding was improperly discontinued as moot at first instance, because the appellant still had an interest in clarifying the alleged breach and his reputation.
Fundamentação extraída
The administrative authority had to decide the merits of whether he violated the Gambling Act and whether the suspension was justified; however, this point was no longer decisive for the Federal Supreme Court appeal.
