Key legal question
Whether the constitutional complaint could challenge the refusal of a residence permit under the hardship exception
Extracted holding
The complaint was admissible only as to formal rights; the applicant had no standing on the merits because the hardship provision conferred no legal entitlement.
Extracted reasoning
In foreigners law, decisions on derogations from admission conditions are not subject to ordinary public-law appeal. Without a substantive right, only formal denial-of-justice complaints may be raised, and only if separable from the merits.
