Key legal question
Whether the administrative law appeal against the interim denial of legal aid was admissible
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible because an appeal against the final immigration decision would itself not be available.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 101 lit. a OG, interlocutory decisions are separately appealable only if the same remedy is open against the final decision. No federal right to a residence permit existed; Art. 8 ECHR did not create such a claim on these facts.
