Key legal question
Whether the federal administrative appeal was admissible despite the absence of a statutory entitlement to the residence permit
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible because no enforceable right to the permit existed under federal law or treaty law.
Extracted reasoning
After the spouse’s death, no claim arose from Art. 7 ANAG; neither the Free Movement Agreement, the anti-discrimination rule, nor the limiting ordinance created an entitlement, and any possible hardship or medical grounds were irrelevant to admissibility.
