Questione giuridica chiave
Admissibility of the public-law appeal in an immigration case
Decisione estratta
The appeal was admissible only insofar as the applicant could rely on a formal marriage with a Swiss citizen and, potentially, on Article 8 ECHR; it was inadmissible against the part resting on cantonal free discretion.
Motivazione estratta
A spouse of a Swiss national has a statutory right under Article 7 LSEE if a formal marriage exists. For Article 8 ECHR, admissibility could not be excluded at this stage because the closeness of the father-child relationship was part of the merits.
