Omnilex summary

The appellant challenged a family-allowance decision by the cantonal compensation fund. Before submitting its response, the fund issued a new decision on 14 December 1999 fully accepting the appeal and annulling the contested decision. The single judge of the Ticino Social Insurance Court held that, under the cantonal procedural rule allowing reconsideration before the response is filed, the matter had become moot. The appeal was therefore removed from the docket, with no court fees or costs, and the fund was ordered to pay CHF 300 in party compensation.

Omnilex headnote

Art. 3a cpv. 1 della Legge di procedura per i ricorsi al Tribunale cantonale delle assicurazioni in materia di assicurazioni sociali; reconsideration by the administrative authority before the filing of its response. Where the authority re-examines the contested decision within the statutory period and issues a new decision fully granting the appeal and annulling the previous act, the appeal loses its object and is struck from the docket as moot (consid. 1). In such a situation, no court fees or costs are charged; party compensation may nevertheless be awarded to the appellant according to the outcome of the reconsideration.

Key legal questions extracted by Omnilex

Key legal question

Whether the appeal remained pending after the authority reconsidered and replaced the challenged decision before filing its response.

Extracted holding

The appeal had become moot because the administrative authority issued a new decision fully accepting the appeal's requests and annulling the contested decision.

Extracted reasoning

Under Art. 3a para. 1 of the cantonal procedure act for social-insurance appeals, the authority may reconsider the contested decision before sending its response; once it did so, there was no longer a live controversy.

Key legal question

Allocation of costs and party compensation after the case became moot.

Extracted holding

No court fees or costs were charged; the compensation fund had to pay the appellant CHF 300 as party compensation.
