Questão jurídica principal
Whether the federal appeal remained justiciable after expiry of the involuntary commitment order
Decisão extraída
The appeal had become moot because the challenged detention had already expired; the proceedings were therefore struck off the list.
Fundamentação extraída
Since the confirmed measure expired on 2012-03-04, the appellant could no longer be detained on the basis of the challenged decision, so there was no remaining legal interest in adjudication.
