Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the reopening request based on an alleged pre-existing cohabiting relationship justified lifting the expulsion order
Extrahierter Entscheid
The alleged relationship was not proven or plausible enough to meet the requirements for Art. 8 ECHR protection at the time of the 1998 judgment.
Extrahierte Begründung
The cantonal findings were binding; they showed at most a short and insufficiently substantiated relationship, no proven common household in 1998, and conduct inconsistent with an intensive partnership.
