Chapter 21 in Research Handbook on International Child Abduction, 2023, pp 313-330 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Legal practice in cases of international child abduction generally, but specifically in cases brought under the 1980 Hague Convention, has developed significantly over the life of the Convention, to the point where the way in which cases are determined in 2022 would be unrecognisable to an abduction specialist practising in England and Wales between 1985 and 2010. A significant driving force in the development of the 1980 Hague Convention has been the intervention of the European Court of Human Rights and the CJEU, particularly in relation to the determination of a child’s habitual residence, Article 13(1)(b) and the role that children play in abduction proceedings. Those developments have significantly complicated abduction cases from a practitioner’s perspective. This chapter examines those three areas, in order to chart the developments in practice in relation to them.
