Custody

Re D (A Child) [2016] UKSC 34, [2016] All ER (D) 132 (Jun)

 

The Supreme Court dismissed the appellant father’s appeal against a decision of the Court of Appeal that a custody order which he had obtained in Romania should not be enforced in the UK under the Brussels II (Revised) Regulation (EC) 2201/2003. The court held that, on the true construction of the statute, it had no jurisdiction to entertain an appeal in the present case.
