mootness  

Définition

  • A court will not decide a case when it is moot—that is, when circumstances are sufficiently altered by time or events to remove the dispute or conflict of interests. The Supreme Court has linked the mootness doctrine to the Constitution's case or controversy rule , but it has also recognized several exceptions that permit courts to decide cases that seem to be moot.
