Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the federal appeal was admissible against the cantonal judgment and not against earlier administrative decisions.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal was admissible only against the cantonal court judgment; the prior cantonal decisions were replaced by devolutive effect.
Extrahierte Begründung
Only the final cantonal judgment is the proper object of challenge in the later instance; the settlement permit still had legal effect, so the matter was reviewable under the immigration appeal rules.
