Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal in public law matters was admissible despite the immigration exclusion rule.
Solution extraite
Yes. Because the appellant, as the spouse of a Swiss citizen, could rely on a statutory and convention-based claim to the permit, the appeal was admissible.
Motifs extraits
The existence of an expiring right under family reunification law and family-life protection meant the case was not barred at the admissibility stage; whether an expulsion ground extinguished the claim belonged to the merits.
