Questão jurídica principal
Whether the insurer's reconsideration rendered the appeal moot and justified striking the case from the roll.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The insurer lawfully reconsidered its decision before sending its response to the appellate court, granted the requested relief, and the dispute became moot.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 53(3) LPGA, an insurer may reconsider the challenged decision until its pre-trial submission to the appellate authority. The new decision of 25 November 2009 fully satisfied the appellant's request, so there was no remaining live dispute.
