Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the constitutional complaint was directly admissible against the cantonal government's decision on renewal of residence permits
Decisione estratta
No; the complaint was inadmissible because the alleged entitlement to a permit had first to be pursued before the cantonal administrative court.
Motivazione estratta
Under the case law, the government decision had to be challenged first before the Zurich Administrative Court when a substantive entitlement to the permit was asserted. Direct constitutional complaint was only possible for procedural guarantees amounting to formal denial of justice, which were not raised here.
