Key legal question
Whether the public-law appeal was admissible despite Art. 83 lit. c ch. 2 BGG
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible because the appellant, as the spouse of a Swiss citizen, in principle had a statutory entitlement under Art. 7 ANAG.
Extracted reasoning
Although the new Aliens Act applied only prospectively, the old law governed. A formally existing marriage still gave a presumptive residence right, so the exclusion of Art. 83 lit. c ch. 2 BGG did not apply.
