Key legal question
Whether the appellant had a right to a settlement permit based on five years of lawful residence.
Extracted holding
No. The required five-year period of orderly residence was not met because stay during the asylum proceedings and after permit expiry was only tolerated, not lawfully authorized.
Extracted reasoning
Under former and new law, orderly residence means residence based on an alien-law permit; tolerated stay during unresolved proceedings does not count if no permit follows.
