Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appellant had an enforceable right to renewal of the residence permit under Art. 7 ANAG.
Decisione estratta
The appellant had only a conditional right, and it could be denied if the marriage had definitively failed.
Motivazione estratta
A foreign spouse may invoke Art. 7 ANAG only while the marriage subsists in substance; where there is no serious prospect of resuming the common life and the relationship exists merely formally, reliance on the marriage is abusive.
