Questão jurídica principal
Whether the husband had a right to an residence permit for family reunification under Art. 17(2) ANAG and Art. 8 ECHR.
Decisão extraída
A basic entitlement existed, but it could lapse if the foreign spouse had seriously violated public order.
Fundamentação extraída
The spouse of a settled foreigner generally has a right to a residence permit while the spouses live together, but Art. 17(2) ANAG allows denial where public order has been violated; the same proportionality logic applies under Art. 8 ECHR.
