Marion Panizzon’s article examines how the 2006 France–Senegal Bilateral Migration Agreement is assessed under national immigration law and the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum. Drawing on more than 500 decisions of the French Administrative Courts of Appeal from 2015 to 2025, it looks at Senegalese nationals’ applications for exceptional admission to stay and at when courts upheld orders to leave or, alternatively, quashed them and directed that stay be granted, thereby tracing how the scope of administrative discretion is shaped in this setting.
