Key legal question
Whether the public-law appeal was admissible in an immigration family reunification case relying on Art. 8 ECHR
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible because the mother had a durable right of residence in Switzerland and could in principle rely on family life protection for her minor daughter.
Extracted reasoning
As spouse of a Swiss citizen, the appellant had a residence right; therefore, a possible claim under Art. 8 ECHR opened the way to federal public-law review, even though Art. 44 LEtr itself confers no entitlement.
