Questão jurídica principal
Whether the public law appeal was admissible for a residence-permit dispute.
Decisão extraída
The appeal was admissible only insofar as the claimant relied on a federal right under Art. 7 LSEE; it was inadmissible to the extent he sought a permit subject to cantonal discretion.
Fundamentação extraída
A spouse of a Swiss national normally has a statutory entitlement to a residence permit, which opens the public law appeal route. By contrast, discretionary relief under cantonal law is excluded from that remedy.
