Omnilex summary

The Ticino Cantonal Insurance Court heard an appeal against a health-insurance decision. While the case was pending, the disputed amount was paid by the insurer, so the court held that the matter had become moot and struck the case from the docket. It ordered that no fees or costs be charged and directed service on the parties.

Omnilex headnote

Mootness in social-insurance proceedings; where the amount in dispute is paid during the pendency of the appeal, the court no longer has a live controversy to determine and must strike the case from the docket. In such a situation, and absent contrary grounds, no judicial fees or costs are levied (consid. implicit).
