Key legal question
Whether the appeal in public law matters was admissible despite the foreign spouse permit exclusion rule
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible because the Swiss spouse could rely in principle on a statutory family reunification entitlement.
Extracted reasoning
Under former ANAG Art. 7(1), the foreign spouse of a Swiss citizen generally has a right to a residence permit; the sham-marriage allegation is a merits question, not an admissibility issue.
