Under the U.S. Constitution and the constitutions of many states, courts are only entitled to hear live cases and controversies. To be a live case or controversy, the litigants must be in dispute over something. A moot case is one where the litigants were disputing something when the case was filed, but later on, the dispute was rectified outside of court. For example, if a plaintiff sues a defendant seeking to enjoin construction of a building, the case would be mooted if the defendant abandoned its plans to construct that building after the lawsuit was filed.
