Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the administrative appeal against refusal to renew the residence permit was admissible
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes, because the appellant could rely on Art. 17(2) LSEE and potentially on Art. 8 ECHR given the family life with his wife and child.
Extrahierte Begründung
A spouse of a settled foreigner living in common household has a statutory claim under Art. 17(2) LSEE; the family relationship was also sufficiently close and effective for Art. 8 ECHR.
