Key legal question
Whether the appellant had a right to a residence permit as the spouse of a Swiss citizen under former Art. 7 LSEE.
Extracted holding
Any entitlement was excluded because the marriage was being invoked abusively; the marital bond had no protected substance anymore.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that even if the formal marriage still existed, the relationship was definitively broken and used only to obtain a permit, which is not protected by Art. 7 LSEE.
