Key legal question
Whether the complaint was admissible regarding the wife's permit renewal request
Extracted holding
The wife's challenge was inadmissible because her entitlement depended on the husband's continued settlement permit, and no independent right had accrued.
Extracted reasoning
Under former Art. 17(2) ANAG, the spouse's right existed only while the spouses lived together and the husband's settlement permit remained valid; Art. 8 ECHR and Art. 13 BV gave no stronger claim here.
