Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the disciplinary proceedings became moot after termination of employment
Extrahierter Entscheid
As a rule, disciplinary proceedings become moot when the person leaves public service, because discipline presupposes an ongoing special-status relationship.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that the ordinary purpose of discipline ceases upon exit from public service, subject to exceptions where the proceeding serves another legal purpose.
