Questão jurídica principal
Whether the federal appeal remained admissible despite the cantonal judgment annulling the challenged permits.
Decisão extraída
No. The appellants lacked a current and practical interest in setting aside the cantonal judgment because the operative permit decision had already been annulled and no remand order was issued.
Fundamentação extraída
The appeal targeted only some legal reasons in the cantonal judgment, not its dispositive part. Those reasons had no independent legal effect, and the feared future arguments could be raised again in any later permit proceedings.
