Key legal question
Whether the administrative appeal was admissible because the spouse of a Swiss citizen may claim a residence permit under Art. 7 LDDS.
Extracted holding
Yes, the appeal was admissible because Art. 7 LDDS grants a right in principle to the foreign spouse of a Swiss citizen; whether that right is lost through abuse or statutory exceptions is a merits question.
Extracted reasoning
The existence of a statutory right under Art. 7 LDDS makes the refusal of renewal reviewable; loss of the right by abuse does not affect admissibility.
