Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the settlement permit could be revoked for obtaining it by wilfully concealing material facts.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The applicant violated his duty of disclosure by omitting the existence of his two children and his relationship with their mother, so the permit was obtained by concealment of essential facts.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that children and a parallel relationship were objectively material to the permit decision and had to be disclosed even without specific questioning; it was not necessary that the permit would certainly have been refused if the facts had been known.
