Questão jurídica principal
Whether the subsidiary constitutional complaint was admissible or had to be treated as a public law appeal
Decisão extraída
The filing was treated as a public law appeal because the contested decision concerned the lapse of a settlement permit and that remedy was available.
Fundamentação extraída
A public law appeal is barred only where no federal or international right to the permit exists; a settlement permit of unlimited duration falls outside that exclusion.
