US Supreme Court Moots NY Gun Appeal


Recommended Posts

It illustrates a feature of court cases that folks sometime don't think much about. It's a dispute between two parties. The dispute determines the issues in court. If there's no more dispute, the court can't act.

 

Here the plaintiffs wanted a declaration that the restriction had to be lifted, because it was unconstitutional. The ultimate relief sought in the dispute is the lifting or invalidation of the restriction. NY city lifted the restriction by repealing and replacing it with something else. The plaintiffs got what they wanted in the narrow sense ,which is the sense that is important to a court.
