Explanation

The doctrines of “mootness” and “ripeness” both deal with when it is appropriate for a court to hear a particular case. They are related to the case or controversy requirement in the US Constitution, which limits courts to hearing only those cases in which actual people or companies have an actual stake in the matter.
