Key legal question
Whether the appeal in public law matters was admissible under the former ANAG regime
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible because the applicant in principle had a statutory entitlement under Art. 17(2) ANAG.
Extracted reasoning
The permit request was filed before the entry into force of the AuG, so the ANAG applied. As the spouse of a settled foreigner and after an ordinary uninterrupted stay of five years, she could rely on an entitlement.
