Question juridique clé
Whether the public law appeal against the Federal Administrative Court's costs ruling was admissible under foreigner-law appeal rules.
Solution extraite
The appeal was not admissible because the underlying matter concerned a residence permit to which neither federal nor international law conferred a right.
Motifs extraits
Decisions on procedural incidents, including legal aid or costs, follow the admissibility of the merits. Since the substantive foreigner-law dispute concerned only an exception to immigration quotas or a permit without an enforceable entitlement, Art. 83 let. c ch. 2 LTF barred the appeal.
