Key legal question
Whether the two Federal Supreme Court proceedings should be struck off as settled after the parties' compromise and withdrawal of claims/counterclaims.
Extracted holding
Yes. Because the parties jointly declared the withdrawal of the claim and counterclaim by settlement, their interest in a Federal Supreme Court decision lapsed and the proceedings were to be struck off.
Extracted reasoning
Under Arts. 72 and 73(1) BZP in conjunction with Art. 71 BGG, a proceeding is discontinued when the appeal is withdrawn or a settlement is reached. The parties' joint request showed that the dispute had been resolved.
