Facts

The application related to a girl, who was 4 years old at the time of the wrongful removal.

The family lived in Poland and the parents had initiated divorce proceedings. In August 2015 the mother went to Switzerland for a couple of months while the child stayed in Poland with her father. In December 2015 the mother took the girl to Switzerland without the father’s consent.

On 27 September 2016, the father filed an application for return at the High Court of the Canton of Vaud (first instance in child abduction cases). On 19 October 2016, the High Court of the Canton of Vaud ordered the return of the child. The mother appealed this decision before the Swiss Federal Supreme Court.

Ruling

The Federal Supreme Court dismissed the mother’s appeal and confirmed the decision of the High Court of the Canton of Vaud through ordering the return of the child.

Grounds

Removal and Retention - Arts 3 and 12

-

Procedural Matters

The court stated that since the mother’s appeal was from the outset without any chance of success, her application for free legal aid could not be granted.
