Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appeal against the opposition decision remained live after the insurer's reconsideration decision of 17 December 2015
Decisão extraída
The appeal had become moot because the insurer annulled the contested decision and fully granted the appellant's request by accepting coverage.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 53(3) LPGA and Art. 83 LPA-VD, the respondent could reconsider its decision before submitting its observations; once it did so, the dispute lost its object and the court only had to note that fact.
