## Definition

Mootness refers to a legal principle where a case is deemed irrelevant because it no longer presents an ongoing issue, or the parties involved no longer have a legally recognizable interest in the outcome. When a case becomes moot, courts generally dismiss it, as there is no longer a "live" controversy to resolve
