Questão jurídica principal
Whether the applicant had a legal entitlement to renewal of the residence permit under Art. 8 ECHR due to family life with her adult son’s household.
Decisão extraída
No. The court found no special dependency relationship; the family ties and assistance provided were ordinary and did not amount to protected family life creating a residence entitlement.
Fundamentação extraída
Art. 8 ECHR protects only an effective, specially dependent family relationship outside the core family. The applicant lived with her son’s family and helped with childcare and finances, but this did not show the required dependence or reduced self-sufficiency.
