Questão jurídica principal
Whether the federal appeal should be struck off as moot after the claimant's death and lack of successor participation
Decisão extraída
The appeal became moot and had to be struck off because the heirs did not declare succession and the bankruptcy estate did not enter the proceedings.
Fundamentação extraída
The proceedings were stayed after the death under Art. 6 paras. 2-3 BZP in conjunction with Art. 71 BGG; when no heir entered and the bankruptcy estate also declined to continue, there was no remaining legal interest in deciding the appeal.
