Key legal question
Whether the cantonal authorities had to enter into the reconsideration request for renewal of the residence permits.
Extracted holding
No. The appellants did not show a substantial change of circumstances or a relevant new legal position requiring reconsideration.
Extracted reasoning
Schooling of the Swiss child shortly after the prior judgment, the IV pension, and the school placement did not materially change the situation; the mere entry into force of the new Foreign Nationals Act did not by itself justify reopening a final decision.
