Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal was admissible despite the foreign national law bar where no entitlement existed
Solution extraite
Admissibility was saved because the appellant could in principle invoke an entitlement to a residence or settlement permit; whether the entitlement was later suppressed belonged to the merits.
Motifs extraits
The Court noted the potential right under the former foreign nationals law and that the existence of an actual entitlement is enough at the admissibility stage.
