Northwest Territories, Canada
The following excerpt is from Lafferty v Tlicho Government, 2010 NWTCA 4 (CanLII):
We decided to consider the application to dismiss before hearing the appeal. To determine whether the appeal is moot, we must conduct a two step analysis: has the appeal become moot and, if so, should we nonetheless exercise our discretion to hear the appeal: Borowski v. Canada (Attorney General), 1989 CanLII 123 (SCC), [1989] 1 S.C.R. 342, 57 D.L.R. (4th) 231 (“Borowski”).
