Questão jurídica principal
Whether the recourse was admissible under Art. 7(1) LSEE because a formal marriage still existed.
Decisão extraída
Yes. For admissibility, the existence of a formal marriage was sufficient, even though the spouses were separated.
Fundamentação extraída
The appellant remained legally married to a Swiss citizen; whether he ultimately had a substantive right to renewal was a merits question.
