Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the refusal of family reunification for the applicant's five children was unlawful under Art. 17 ANAG, Art. 8 ECHR, or Art. 13 BV.
Decisione estratta
The appeal disclosed no ground to overturn the cantonal decision; any claim to family reunification could not be based on Art. 17 ANAG and the refusal was justified under Art. 8 ECHR and Art. 13 BV.
Motivazione estratta
The court accepted that the relevant time for review was the date of the cantonal decision. It upheld the view that reunification must be refused because changing the existing care arrangements was neither necessary nor based on compelling reasons. The appellant's arguments about the children's primary relationship and custody did not address the decisive ground.
