Key legal question
Whether the refusal to renew the residence permit could stand despite the appellant's right to be heard.
Extracted holding
No. The cantonal court failed to address the newly filed evidence and the related evidentiary requests concerning a concrete danger on return, thereby violating the right to be heard.
Extracted reasoning
The authority must examine and consider relevant submissions and briefly state the reasons. The lower court ignored the police inspector's letter and the witness/evidence requests, although they were central to the claimed risk in Togo.
