Omnilex headnote

Moootness after settlement in planning appeal proceedings; when the parties inform the court that the dispute has been resolved transactively, the appeal loses its object and is struck from the docket. In such circumstances the court may dispense with court fees and costs. The decision turns on the absence of a live controversy rather than on a merits determination.
