Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellants were entitled to a residence permit for family reunification under Art. 17(2) ANAG and Art. 8 ECHR despite criminal conduct.
Decisão extraída
The family-life-based entitlement existed in principle, but it had lapsed or was outweighed because the public interest in keeping the appellant away remained predominant.
Fundamentação extraída
Repeated offending, illegal stay, poor compliance, and insufficiently favorable prognosis meant the authorities could refuse the permit proportionately under public-order grounds.
