Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appeal in public law matters was admissible despite the immigration nature of the permit refusal.
Extrahierter Entscheid
It was admissible because the appellant could rely on a statutory right under former Art. 17(2) LSEE and, in substance, on Art. 8 ECHR.
Extrahierte Begründung
A spouse of a settlement permit holder has a legal entitlement to a residence permit so long as the spouses live together; the existence of a close and effective family relationship also allowed reliance on Art. 8 ECHR for admissibility.
