Key legal question
Whether the public law appeal was admissible against the cantonal decision on immigration permits.
Extracted holding
The public law appeal was admissible only insofar as the applicant alleged a legal entitlement; otherwise it was barred by the exclusion rule for foreigner permits without a right.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 83 lit. c ch. 2 BGG, such appeals are excluded unless federal law or international law grants a right. The court therefore examined whether any claimed entitlement existed.
