Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appeal became moot after the respondent issued a new decision granting the requested subsidy
Decisão extraída
Yes. The new decision fully satisfied the appellant's request, so there was no longer any live dispute.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 53(3) LPGA, the insurer may reconsider a challenged decision until it sends its response to the appeal court. The respondent used this power in time and issued a new decision granting the subsidy sought.
