Key legal question
Whether the administrative law appeal was admissible against the refusal to renew the residence permit.
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible because no federal law or treaty conferred a right to renewal.
Extracted reasoning
The appellant could not rely on Art. 17(2) LSEE because his spouse lacked a settlement permit, and he could not derive a right from Art. 8 ECHR since no family member had a secured right of presence in Switzerland.
