Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the administrative law appeal was admissible for a claim to a settlement or residence permit based on marriage to a Swiss citizen.
Decisione estratta
The appeal was admissible to the extent it sought a settlement permit or renewal of the residence permit because a statutory entitlement under Art. 7 ANAG could in principle exist.
Motivazione estratta
A foreign spouse of a Swiss citizen has, after five years of orderly and uninterrupted residence, a statutory entitlement; if such a right exists, even the lesser residence permit cannot be refused on that basis.
