Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the constitutional complaint became moot after the cantonal court reopened the case and set aside the contumacy judgment.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The federal complaint was dismissed from the docket as moot because the challenged judgment had been annulled by the reopening decision.
Extrahierte Begründung
Once the appealed contumacy judgment was lifted by the appellate court's reopening decision, there was no longer a live legal interest in the constitutional complaint.
