Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appeal in public law was admissible despite the refusal to renew the residence permit.
Decisão extraída
It was inadmissible because the applicant did not invoke a surviving formal marriage-based entitlement, but only a discretionary hardship case.
Fundamentação extraída
Under the old foreign nationals law, only a formal marriage may ground standing for such an appeal; a disputed hardship assessment does not create a legal entitlement.
