Questão jurídica principal
Whether the public-law appeal was admissible despite the lower decision having been superseded by later proceedings.
Decisão extraída
The appeal lacked an актуal and practical interest because the challenged decision no longer had independent effect after the matter was taken up by the cantonal appeal court.
Fundamentação extraída
Once the president referred the file to the cantonal appeal court, the 10 December 2002 decision no longer produced effects; the requested documents remained in the registry pending that court’s decision.
