Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appeal became moot after the insurer reconsidered and annulled the challenged decisions pending appeal
Decisão extraída
Yes. The reconsideration granted the appellant the relief sought, so the appeal had become moot and the case had to be struck from the docket.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 53(3) LPGA, the insurer may reconsider a decision or objection decision while an appeal is pending until its observations are sent to the appellate court. Here, the insurer used that power and annulled the contested decisions, which made the appeal devoid of object.
