Question juridique clé
Whether the appellant had a right to renewal of the residence permit under Art. 7 ANAG despite the marital breakdown.
Solution extraite
No; reliance on the marriage was abusive because the marital community had ceased and no reunion was realistically to be expected.
Motifs extraits
A claim under Art. 7 ANAG fails when the marriage exists only formally and the spouse can no longer seriously expect cohabitation; the facts showed separation, divorce proceedings, and no reconciliation efforts.
