The appellant, acting as substitute decision-maker for her husband, appealed a decision of the Consent and Capacity Board regarding his treatment plan.
Before the appeal could be decided, the husband passed away.
The court applied the test for mootness from Borowski and determined that the appeal was moot because there was no longer a live controversy between the parties.
The court declined to exercise its discretion to hear the moot appeal, finding that the issues were highly fact-specific and raised no questions of public importance.
The appeal was dismissed.
