Key legal question
Whether the appeal in public law matters was admissible, especially regarding the removal order.
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible as to the refusal to extend the residence permit because the appellant had a statutory and Convention-based claim; it was inadmissible insofar as it sought to challenge the removal order itself.
Extracted reasoning
Marriage to a Swiss citizen created a potential entitlement under former ANAG Art. 7 and Art. 8 ECHR. However, Art. 83 lit. c ch. 4 BGG excludes direct review of removal orders.
