Key legal question
Whether the complaint in public law matters is admissible against the finding that the settlement permit had lapsed and against refusal of a new permit.
Extracted holding
The complaint is admissible regarding the lapse of the settlement permit, but not regarding the refusal of a new permit or an exception from admission requirements.
Extracted reasoning
A person may challenge the extinction of a settlement permit because the continuation of that status is in principle claimable. By contrast, no claim existed to a new residence permit or to a derogation from admission conditions.
