FE v YE (Secretary of State for the Home Department intervening) [2017] EWHC 2165 (Fam), [2017] All ER (D) 54 (Sep)
The Family Division provided guidance on where an asylum claim would halt an application under the Hague Convention on Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction 1980. The father had applied, pursuant to the Convention, for the return of his two children from the United Kingdom to Israel. Days prior to the present proceedings, the subject children had been refused asylum and were subsequently ordered to be returned to Israel. However, the order would not take effect until 15 days after the promulgation of the decision on the mother and children’s appeal against the refusal of the grant of asylum.
