Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the federal appeal proceedings should be struck out as settled by agreement.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. Because the parties jointly informed the court that they had reached an out-of-court settlement, the appeal proceedings were declared closed.
Extrahierte Begründung
The settlement removed the parties' interest in a judicial decision; the president therefore struck the case out under Art. 32 para. 2 BGG.
