Question juridique clé
Whether the appellant had a right to renewal of his residence permit under Art. 50(1)(a) LEtr after dissolution of the marriage.
Solution extraite
No right existed because the court upheld the finding that the marital union had not effectively lasted three years in a genuine common life.
Motifs extraits
The Federal Court found no arbitrariness in the cantonal court's assessment that the spouses had not truly cohabited and that the marriage had lost substance before the three-year threshold. Without that prerequisite, the integration question was irrelevant.
