Italian Supreme Court dismisses appeal regarding asylum seeker's right to family reunification under immigration law.

The Corte di Cassazione dismissed the appeal challenging a lower court's refusal of a family reunification permit for an asylum seeker. The applicant argued that the strict interpretation of residency requirements violated constitutional principles of family unity, while the state maintained adherence to statutory limits on immigration benefits. The court upheld the lower decision, ruling that the domestic legislation provided a valid and sufficient legal basis for denying the request without infringing on fundamental rights.
