Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal authorities had to reopen the final residence-permit refusal in reconsideration proceedings.
Solution extraite
No. The alleged new facts were not legally relevant enough to require reconsideration, and they did not undermine the original finding of a merely formal marriage without prospects of resuming cohabitation.
Motifs extraits
Reconsideration is required only under cantonal law or when constitutionally relevant new facts or evidence exist. The asserted work, social engagement, and family presence in Switzerland did not affect the decisive reason for denial under Art. 7 ANAG, namely the absence of a real marital community and the abuse of rights.
