Key legal question
Whether the administrative appeal was admissible in light of the claimed right under Swiss foreign nationals law.
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible because Art. 7(1) LDDS grants a foreign spouse of a Swiss citizen a claimed right, while questions of abuse or exceptions concern the merits.
Extracted reasoning
The existence of a statutory entitlement under Art. 7(1) LDDS suffices for admissibility; whether that entitlement has been lost through abuse is decided on the merits.
