Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the public law appeal was admissible despite the general exclusion rule for residence permits.
Decisione estratta
The appeal was admissible only to the extent that the applicant could invoke a possible statutory entitlement to a settlement or residence permit; otherwise no public-law claim existed.
Motivazione estratta
Under former ANAG, a claim may arise from Art. 7 ANAG. If the conditions for a settlement permit were met, the applicant could still rely on that claim after divorce, making the appeal admissible ratione materiae in that limited respect.
