HUD Housing Programs: Tenants’ Rights (The Green Book): 14.8.6.4 Live issues
A key factor in determining the mootness of a class claim is whether the issues before the court are still live and there is subject matter upon which the court can rule. In Lewis v. Housing Authority of Talladega,573 the defendant rescinded the eviction notices and, upon appeal, rescinded the challenged policy and substituted a new policy.
