Key legal question
Whether the complaint was admissible against the original cantonal decision and the refusal of an establishment permit.
Extracted holding
The complaint was inadmissible only insofar as it targeted the original cantonal decision; otherwise it was admissible because the appellant could still invoke the five-year rule under former foreign nationals law.
Extracted reasoning
Due to the devolutive effect, only the administrative court judgment could be challenged. Although the marriage had already been dissolved, the relevant five-year period had not yet expired when the divorce became final, so the appellant could still rely on the statutory entitlement in principle.
