Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellant had a right to renewal of the residence permit under Art. 7 ANAG despite the separated marriage.
Decisão extraída
No right existed because the marriage had become purely formal and was being invoked abusively for immigration purposes.
Fundamentação extraída
The spouses had been separated since 2002, both had expressed a wish to divorce, and there were no realistic prospects of resuming a life together; the findings were not shown to be manifestly incorrect.
