Omnilex summary

Three appellants challenged a State Council resolution approving a village center detailed plan for the municipality. Before the planning court decided the merits, the appellants withdrew the appeal by letter of 16 March 2000. The court held that the case had become moot, struck the appeal from the docket, and ordered that no fees or costs be charged. The decision was issued by the Tribunal of the Planning of the Territory in Lugano on 17 March 2000.

Omnilex headnote

Withdrawal of appeal; mootness in planning proceedings: where the appellants withdraw their challenge to a governmental planning approval, the court will strike the matter from the roll for loss of object and may waive fees and costs. The dispositive consequence follows directly from the absence of a remaining contentious subject-matter, without any review on the merits (consid. implied by the order).
