Key legal question
Whether the applicants had a cognizable right to family reunification under ANAG and EMRK for admissibility purposes.
Extracted holding
The husband had a prima facie right to reunite with his wife, and the minor son still entitled to be joined; the complaint was therefore admissible to that extent.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 17(2) ANAG granted a general reunification right for the spouse of a settled foreigner and for children under 18. The son who had become adult could no longer rely on that provision, but the family-life guarantee remained relevant for the wife and the younger son.
