Key legal question
Whether the appeal was admissible under the Federal Supreme Court Act despite being labelled as a Verwaltungsgerichtsbeschwerde
Extracted holding
The filing was to be treated as a public law appeal and was admissible; the exclusion ground did not apply.
Extracted reasoning
The decision concerned an immigration family reunification claim that could in principle be raised under former Art. 17 ANAG, and the authorities had already addressed the renewed request on the merits.
