Key legal question
Whether the appeal against denial of a residence/settlement permit was admissible and should be examined on the merits.
Extracted holding
The appellant had a statutory and Convention-based entitlement sufficient for admissibility, so the court entered into the complaint.
Extracted reasoning
Despite judicial separation from his Swiss wife, he maintained minimal family ties to the child and could invoke Art. 7 ANAG, Art. 8 ECHR and Art. 13 BV.
