Review Question 2: Exceptions on Moot Questions

Mr. Santos filed a petition before the Supreme Court challenging the constitutionality of a recently passed law. However, before the Court could hear the case, the government repealed the law in question. Mr. Santos argues that the case is no longer justiciable because it has become moot.

Considering the exceptions to the mootness doctrine, discuss whether Mr. Santos' argument holds merit. Support your answer with applicable laws and jurisprudence.
