Questão jurídica principal
Whether the applicants had a legal entitlement to a residence permit under Article 8 ECHR or Article 13(1) of the Constitution.
Decisão extraída
Article 8 ECHR did not give the mother a right to a specific residence permit because family life could already be maintained through temporary admission.
Fundamentação extraída
The court confirmed its case law that Article 8 ECHR guarantees effective family life in Switzerland, not a particular immigration status. Since the applicants could live together in Switzerland under temporary admission and no immediate family separation was imminent, no enforceable right to an ordinary residence permit arose.
