Questão jurídica principal
Whether the administrative appeal remained justiciable after the later competition settlement and approval decision.
Decisão extraída
The dispute had become moot because the challenged measures were superseded by a later, final approval decision and the contested conduct was no longer at issue.
Fundamentação extraída
The later approved settlement covered the same no-discrimination clauses and rendered the original dispute without independent significance; abstract review of procedural questions was not permissible without a live material dispute.
