Key legal question
Whether administrative court appeal was admissible against the finding that the settlement permit had lapsed
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible because it concerned the continuation or lapse of an existing settlement permit, not a new discretionary permit grant.
Extracted reasoning
Challenges to the expiry or revocation of an existing stay permit are reviewable regardless of entitlement to a new permit; the same applies when a timely extension request under Art. 9(3)(c) ANAG is invoked.
