Questão jurídica principal
Whether the administrative law appeal was admissible against the cantonal court's dismissal for lack of competence concerning renewal of a residence permit.
Decisão extraída
The appeal was in principle available because the underlying dispute concerned a matter governed by federal law, but the appellant had no enforceable right to the permit renewal.
Fundamentação extraída
A final cantonal inadmissibility decision may be challenged when, had the merits been examined, federal law would apply. However, in alien law an administrative law appeal is excluded against refusal of a permit unless a federal statute or treaty grants a right to it. No such right existed here under federal legislation, the quota ordinance, constitutional equality, or Article 8 ECHR after the divorce.
