Arbeitsgemeinschaft Deutscher Luftfahrt-Unternehmen and Hapag-Lloyd v Commission: ECFI 14 Mar 1997

ECFI Actions for annulment of measures – Action challenging a decision – Contested decision repealed in the course of the proceedings on account of clerical errors and a new, substantively identical decision adopted – Application rendered devoid of purpose – No need to proceed to judgment where the applicant has no interest in obtaining annulment
When, on account of clerical error in a decision which is being contested in an action for annulment, a Community institution repeals that decision in the course of the proceedings in order to replace it with a new decision which is substantively identical, that repeal renders the application devoid of purpose and it is not necessary for the case to proceed to judgment unless the applicant can establish an interest in obtaining its annulment.
