Resolution Podcast S2 Episode #6 | Abduction and its consequences | w/ Michael Edwards, Amy Rowe & Roz Osbourne

Listen to Michael Edwards (a barrister at 4PB), Amy Rowe (a partner at Dawson Cornwell) and Roz Osbourne (the Director of GlobalARRK which is a charity to support the stuck parent and children) discuss the law in respect of child abduction.  Amy and Michael take us through recent case law in respect of the defences to return orders under the Hague Convention 1980, and the use of inherent jurisdiction, they share practical and specialist insights about how to approach these summary proceedings.   In the discussion they refer to: Re B (Children) (Abduction: Consent: Oral Evidence) (Article 13(b)) [2022] EWCA Civ 1171 Re NY (A Child) [2019] UKSC 49 G v G [2020] UKSC 9 Roz invites us to look at abduction cases from a different angle and the impact on the ’stuck parent’.  GlobalARRK supports the stuck parent and campaigns for change to the current law and procedure.  Follow the link to read their Principles for Change document https://www.globalarrk.org/policies-principles/ Note, just before the end Michael says ‘abduction’ when he means and is talking about ‘asylum’ - this was just a slip of the tongue.
