Omnilex summary

The appellant challenged the State Council’s resolution approving the municipal zoning plan, but at the hearing of 25 August 1999 withdrew the appeal. The Territorial Planning Court held that the case had become moot and ordered the appeal removed from the docket. It further decided that no court fees or costs would be levied. The decision contains no substantive review of the zoning plan approval.

Omnilex headnote

Withdrawal of an appeal renders the proceedings devoid of object; the appellate court must strike the matter from the docket. In such a case, and absent special circumstances, no court fees or expenses are charged. The court confines itself to noting the mootness caused by the withdrawal and does not decide the merits (consid. not indicated).
