Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellant could rely on Art. 7 ANAG to obtain a settlement or renewed residence permit despite the separation from his Swiss spouse.
Decisão extraída
The reliance on the marriage was abusive because both spouses lacked any real intention to resume a marital life, and the appellant knew that no renewed life together was realistically possible.
Fundamentação extraída
Art. 7 ANAG protects residence only in view of an actual marital community. Clear indications showed no ongoing or expected life partnership; abusive reliance on the marriage bars both renewal of the residence permit and the settlement permit claim.
