Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal in public law matters is admissible under former foreign nationals law
Solution extraite
The appeal was admissible because the appellant was married to a Swiss citizen and could invoke a right to a residence permit under former Art. 7 LSEE.
Motifs extraits
For admissibility, the existence of a formal marriage sufficed; the case was governed by the former law because the request for reconsideration predated 1 January 2008.
