Question juridique clé
Whether the public-law appeal was admissible against the refusal/withdrawal of a residence permit and removal order.
Solution extraite
The appeal in public law was inadmissible because no federal or international right to the permit existed, including under Art. 8 ECHR.
Motifs extraits
The hardship permit had expired by law, and the applicants could not show specially intense private-life ties in Switzerland. The principal applicant’s long stay was largely illegal, and the family ties remained strong abroad.
