Question juridique clé
Whether the federal appeal was admissible because the appellant could rely on a right to renewal or to a settlement permit under former ANAG provisions.
Solution extraite
A possible entitlement could only arise from Art. 17(2) sentence 2 ANAG if the five-year cohabitation requirement had been met; however, the court did not need to decide that definitively because the appeal failed on the merits.
Motifs extraits
After separation, the appellant could no longer invoke Art. 17(2) sentence 1 ANAG. Any access to federal review depended on a possible acquired right to a settlement permit, but the relevant entitlement remained doubtful and was unnecessary to resolve because the permit request was in any event unjustified.
