Question juridique clé
Whether the appellant had a right to a settlement permit based on five years of lawful residence.
Solution extraite
No. The required five-year period of orderly residence was not met because stay during the asylum proceedings and after permit expiry was only tolerated, not lawfully authorized.
Motifs extraits
Under former and new law, orderly residence means residence based on an alien-law permit; tolerated stay during unresolved proceedings does not count if no permit follows.
