Omnilex summary

The Administrative Court of Ticino dealt with a complaint for denial, respectively delay, of justice. During the proceedings, the State Council issued its decision on 22 August 1995, so the complaint lost its object. The complainants then withdrew the appeal on condition that the withdrawal not be treated as desistance and that no costs or court fees be charged. The court therefore struck the case from the docket and ordered that no fees or costs be levied.

Omnilex headnote

Mootness of a denial- or delay-of-justice complaint after the authority has acted; where the contested authority issues the overdue decision during the proceedings, the complaint loses its object and is struck from the roll. If the appellant withdraws the remedy conditionally and the proceedings are exhausted, the court may refrain from levying fees and costs (consid. none indicated).
