Key legal question
Whether the appeal in public law matters was admissible against the refusal of a residence permit renewal and family reunification permits.
Extracted holding
The appellants had no legal entitlement to the requested residence permit, so the appeal in public law matters was not admissible.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Court was bound by the established facts; those facts showed the appellant was not French and had used false documents. As Serbian and Montenegrin nationals, the appellants could not claim a right to the permits.
