Key legal question
Whether an administrative law appeal is admissible against refusal of a residence permit when no legal entitlement exists
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible because the applicants had no enforceable right to the requested permit under federal law or treaty.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 100 OG and Art. 4 LDDS, such an appeal is available only if a legal entitlement exists. No such entitlement could be derived from ordinary immigration law.
