Question juridique clé
Whether the administrative law appeal against the refusal of a residence permit was admissible and well founded.
Solution extraite
The appeal was dismissed insofar as it was admissible; the applicant had no enforceable right to the permit under the invoked grounds.
Motifs extraits
The court left the admissibility question open because the claim failed on the merits. Balancing the family interests against the serious and repeated criminal conduct, the public interest in refusing further residence prevailed.
