Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appeal in public law matters was admissible despite the refusal to renew the residence permit.
Decisione estratta
The appeal was admissible because the applicant had a potential statutory entitlement under Art. 43 AuG; the question whether the entitlement was lost through abuse belonged to the merits.
Motivazione estratta
A spouse of a person holding a settlement permit has a basic right to renewal when the spouses live together; abuse of right is assessed substantively, not at the admissibility stage.
