Key legal question
Whether the public law appeal was admissible despite the absence of a statutory entitlement to a residence permit.
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible because no enforceable right to the permit existed; Art. 83 lit. c No. 2 BGG barred the remedy.
Extracted reasoning
For Art. 17(2) ANAG, a permit claim exists only while spouses live together. The applicant failed to show that the factual finding of non-cohabitation was arbitrary or otherwise unlawful.
