Question juridique clé
Whether the administrative law appeal against the refusal to renew a residence permit was admissible despite no statutory entitlement.
Solution extraite
The appeal was inadmissible because the applicant had no enforceable right to the permit under federal law or a treaty.
Motifs extraits
Residence permits are discretionary unless a special federal or treaty-based entitlement exists. Neither Art. 17(2) ANAG nor Art. 8 ECHR / Art. 13 BV created a right on the facts found; the marriage relationship had ended, the spouse had died, and no sufficiently intense private or family life was shown.
