Questão jurídica principal
Whether the public-law appeal had become moot after the guardian was removed from office by the justice of peace.
Decisão extraída
The appeal was not moot in the strict sense because the challenged measure was not formally annulled ex tunc, but it had lost its legal interest after the appeal was filed.
Fundamentação extraída
When legal interest ceases during proceedings, the Federal Tribunal terminates the case by a reasoned summary decision, taking into account the situation before the event ending the dispute. On summary review, the cantonal decision did not appear arbitrary; the appeal also seemed insufficiently reasoned.
