Question juridique clé
Whether the husband had a right to entry and residence approval under family reunification rules and Article 8 ECHR despite criminal convictions.
Solution extraite
The public-order interest outweighed the family life interest; no right to residence approval was established.
Motifs extraits
The husband had twice been convicted in France to three-year prison terms for serious, partly gang-related and repeat offences. His short stay in Switzerland and the family’s interest in living together could not outweigh the heavy criminal fault, especially since the wife knew of the risks when marrying him.
