Key legal question
Whether the father could invoke a right to family reunification for his wife and son
Extracted holding
Yes. As holder of a settlement permit, he could rely on Art. 17(2) ANAG; because family life was actually lived and intact, Art. 8 ECHR and Art. 13 BV also made the complaint admissible.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that the statutory and constitutional family-life protections limited the administration's discretion and allowed judicial review.
