Question juridique clé
Whether the federal appeal met the motivation requirements of Art. 42 LTF.
Solution extraite
No. The appeal did not engage with the reasons for the challenged inadmissibility decision and therefore failed to show how federal law was violated.
Motifs extraits
When a lower authority does not enter into the merits for formal reasons, the appellant must specifically address those reasons and explain why they are wrong. The submissions merely described personal and financial hardship and did not challenge the finding of insufficient motivation.
