Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appellant had standing to challenge the cantonal hardship-permit decision by subsidiary constitutional complaint
Decisione estratta
He lacked standing because, as a rejected asylum seeker without an entitlement to the permit, he had no legally protected position in the cantonal permit proceedings.
Motivazione estratta
Under Art. 14 AsylG, a rejected asylum seeker may not initiate permit proceedings absent an entitlement; the canton acts only as applicant to the federal office and the foreigner has party status only in the federal consent procedure.
