Key legal question
Whether the administrative law appeal was admissible despite the absence of a statutory or treaty-based entitlement to the requested immigration permit.
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible because no enforceable right to the permit existed; therefore the cantonal court correctly refused entry.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 100(1)(b)(3) OG, immigration appeals are excluded where no federal right to the permit exists. The reconsideration request depended on the existence of such a right; if none existed, neither the cantonal court nor the migration office had to issue a new merits decision.
