Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appeal was admissible under former immigration law despite the sham-partnership allegation.
Decisão extraída
The appeal was admissible because the partners were formally registered, which in principle could create a residence-permit claim.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that a formal registered partnership can ground standing and admissibility; the question whether the relationship is genuine goes to the merits, not admissibility.
