Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appeal remained admissible despite the loss of current interest and an asserted virtual interest in a merits review.
Decisione estratta
The appellant failed to show any exceptional reason requiring a merits review; the alleged interest in a future damages action did not justify departing from the requirement of a current, personal and concrete interest.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that the appellant could pursue the legality of the measure in later liability proceedings under cantonal law, where the stricken decision would not bind the civil court. The case was not one of the limited situations where the Federal Tribunal reviews moot matters for overriding public reasons or clear Convention violations.
