Questão jurídica principal
Whether the administrative appeal was admissible for a claimed right to family reunification of an adopted child.
Decisão extraída
The appeal was admissible because the applicant could invoke a principled entitlement under Art. 17(2) ANAG and potentially Art. 8 ECHR.
Fundamentação extraída
The child was under 18 at the relevant time, and the applicant held a settlement permit; therefore the matter was not left to pure administrative discretion.
