Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the settlement permit was obtained by wilfully concealing material facts under Art. 9(4)(a) ANAG
Decisione estratta
The appellant concealed his parallel family life and true intentions; the permit was therefore obtained by deceit.
Motivazione estratta
An alien must disclose facts relevant to the permit decision, even if not expressly asked. Having children with another woman and maintaining a family-like parallel relationship were material circumstances. Had the authorities known them, the settlement permit would not have been granted.
