Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the justice-delay appeal remained live after the cantonal court ruled on the merits
Decisione estratta
The appeal had become moot because the cantonal court rendered its judgment after the federal appeal was filed, so the appellant no longer had a legally protected interest in an immediate ruling.
Motivazione estratta
Once the lower court decided the case, the request for a prompt judgment lost its object and the file had to be struck from the roll.
