Key legal question
Whether the appeal in public law matters was admissible in view of a possible entitlement to a residence permit
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible insofar as the appellant could invoke a potential claim to a settlement permit under former Art. 7 ANAG after a marriage to a Swiss citizen.
Extracted reasoning
A person married to a Swiss citizen for the required period may rely on a potential legal entitlement to settlement even after divorce; therefore the statutory exception to inadmissibility did not apply.
