Key legal question
Whether the appellants qualified for an exemption from foreigner quota measures under Art. 13 lit. f OLE due to an extreme personal hardship.
Extracted holding
No extreme personal hardship was shown; the long illegal stay, social integration, and family situation did not justify the exemption.
Extracted reasoning
Illegal residence is generally not counted. The family had no ties so close to Switzerland that return to Brazil would amount to genuine uprooting, and the alleged risks in Brazil did not make the case exceptional.
