Questão jurídica principal
Whether the federal appeal was still admissible after the protective measures had expired.
Decisão extraída
The appeal had become moot because the measures ended on 2009-07-16 and nothing indicated any extension beyond that date.
Fundamentação extraída
The case concerned time-limited protection measures; since they lapsed before the Federal Court decided and no continuing legal interest remained, the appeal had to be struck off as moot.
