Questão jurídica principal
Whether the public law appeal still had a practical and current interest after the Federal Council denied the concession request.
Decisão extraída
No. The appellant no longer had a sufficient legal interest in annulment of the cantonal judgment, so the case had to be struck off as moot.
Fundamentação extraída
An interest under Art. 88 OG must exist when the Federal Court decides. Once the Federal Council definitively refused the casino concession, the temporary building permit issue no longer presented a concrete, reviewable interest; the pending federal commission proceedings did not change that.
