Question juridique clé
Whether the administrative appeal was admissible under Art. 17(2) LSEE and Art. 8 ECHR
Solution extraite
The appeal was admissible because the father held a settlement permit and the children were under 18 when the application was filed; the family life guarantee could also be invoked by the minor children.
Motifs extraits
Art. 17(2) LSEE grants a right to include unmarried children under 18 in the parent's settlement permit. For Art. 8 ECHR, the relationship had to be close and effective, which was conceded for the father and his minor children.
