Omnilex summary

The appellant challenged a 21 July 1999 decision of the CV-LEPIC before the Ticino Administrative Court. In its response of 1 September 1999, the authority accepted the appeal. The court therefore held that the proceedings had become moot, struck the appeal from the docket, annulled the challenged decision, waived court fees and costs, and ordered the CV-LEPIC to pay CHF 250 in party compensation because the appellant had been forced to litigate to obtain the requested relief.

Omnilex headnote

Administrative appeal becomes moot when the challenged authority fully adheres to the appellant's request in its response; the court then strikes the proceedings off the docket and annuls the contested decision. Where the appellant had to seize the court in order to obtain the desired relief, an award of party compensation is justified even if no court costs are levied (consid. implicit).
