Key legal question
Whether the appeal was admissible under Art. 83 let. c ch. 2 LTF and former foreign nationals law.
Extracted holding
No enforceable or sufficiently plausible right to the permit existed under either the former or the new regime.
Extracted reasoning
Because the conjugal relationship had been definitively dissolved and the applicant could not rely on a subsisting family reunification right, the exclusion clause applied under the former law; under the new law, the marriage had lasted less than three years, so no statutory entitlement arose.
