Questão jurídica principal
Whether the administrative law appeal was admissible despite the general exclusion rule in foreigners' residence permit cases.
Decisão extraída
The appeal could not rely on an independent statutory or treaty entitlement; Article 8 ECHR was invoked, but the Court left admissibility open because the appeal failed on the merits in any event.
Fundamentação extraída
In foreigners' law, such an appeal is only available if a right to the permit follows from federal law or an international treaty. Article 8 ECHR might in principle create such a claim, but the Court did not need to decide the admissibility question definitively.
