Whether the appeal remained live after the authority issued a new decision granting the requested payment guarantee
The appeal became moot because the authority replaced the challenged decision with a new decision fully favorable to the appellant.
Under Art. 83 LPA-VD, the respondent may issue a new decision in the appellant's favor; once the refusal was revoked and replaced, the dispute lost its object and the case had to be removed from the roll under Art. 94 al. 1 let. c LPA-VD.
