Questão jurídica principal
Whether the applicant had a right to renewal of his residence permit under family reunification and Article 8 ECHR.
Decisão extraída
He could in principle rely on family reunification and family life, but the right was not absolute and had to yield to public-order concerns after balancing interests.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that Art. 17(2) LSEE and Art. 8 ECHR both require proportionality review; the seriousness of the offenses, the risk of reoffending, and the family situation had to be weighed together.
