Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the public-law appeal was admissible despite the immigration permit exception
Decisione estratta
The appeal was admissible because X., as mother of a minor Swiss child living in Switzerland, could invoke Article 8 ECHR.
Motivazione estratta
Although no statutory entitlement existed under the old ANAG, the family-life protection of Article 8 ECHR could establish a claim once the son again lived in Switzerland.
