Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the subsidiary constitutional complaint was admissible against the cantonal departmental decision refusing family reunification permits.
Decisione estratta
The complaint was inadmissible because the appellant had no standing to challenge the refusal on the merits.
Motivazione estratta
Without a legal entitlement to the permits, he lacked a legally protected interest under Art. 115(b) BGG; the asserted Article 8 ECHR argument could only be examined, if at all, in ordinary public-law proceedings, not via subsidiary constitutional complaint.
