Key legal question
Whether the public-law appeal was admissible in the absence of a legal entitlement to renewal of the residence permit.
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible because no enforceable entitlement to the permit existed under federal law or the ECHR.
Extracted reasoning
The applicant no longer lived with her husband, so Art. 17(2) ANAG no longer created an entitlement. There was also no protected family or private life basis under Art. 8 ECHR on the facts.
