Key legal question
Whether the administrative law appeal was admissible against the refusal to renew the residence permit.
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible because the appellant, as spouse of a settlement permit holder, could invoke a statutory entitlement under Art. 17(2) LDDS.
Extracted reasoning
A permit refusal is not appealable unless a right to the permit exists under federal law or treaty law; that requirement was met here.
