Right Of Access

In this paper, the author explores the sources of European Union Law that regulate one segment of parental responsibility - the right of access to a child. The focal point of research is the transition from the conventional (interstate) regulation of judicial cooperation in marital disputes and parental responsibility issues to the regulation enacted by the European Union institutions, with specific reference to the Brussels II bis Regulation. First, the author briefly points out to its relationship with other relevant international law sources regulating this subject matter: the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction; the Hague Convention on Jurisdiction, Applicable Law, Recognition, Enforcement and Cooperation in the Field of Parental Responsibility and Measures for the Protection of Children; and other international sources of law. Then, the author examines in more detail its relationship with the Brussels II bis recast Regulation, which will be applicable as of 1 August 2022. In addition, the paper includes an analysis of the first case in which the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) decided on the application of the Brussels II bis Regulation, at the request of granparents to exercise the right of access to the child. On the issue of determining the competent court which has jurisdiction to decide on how this right shall be exercised, the CJEU had to decide whether the competent court is determined on the basis of the Brussels II bis Regulation or on the basis of national Private International Law rules. This paper is useful for the professional and scientific community because it deals (inter alia) with the issue of justification of adopting a special source of law at the EU level, which would regulate the issue of mutual enforcement of court decisions on the right of access to the child. This legal solution was proposed by the Republic of France, primarily guided by the fundamental right of the child to have contact with both parents.

The Hague Convention

The world has become a global village and distance is no more the challenge. The direct impact of this positive change can be seen in interaction of various citizens of different countries belonging to diverse social, cultural and religious background. But cross border movements, inter-country migration and cross border marriages creates a new challenge like inter parental child abduction. In case of cross border broken marriages, there arise various issues like infringement of spouse’s parental rights, parallel conflicting legal disputes in different countries, non participation of various countries to Hague convention for welfare of children, isolation of child in foreign abodes due to connection with Indian soil, etc. Inter parental child abduction is neither considered as an offence, nor it is covered under any statutory laws of India. Like 94 nations, India is not a signatory to The Hague Convention on Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, 1980, a multi lateral treaty developed by Hague Conference on Private International Law. Due to its non signatory status the judges of foreign countries do not trust Indian courts and do not permit the parent to take child to India, fearing its non-return. In absence of any international legal instrument, the litigating parents will have to bear unnecessary expenses of visa, travel, litigation, etc and unfortunate child will become a trophy to be won in the clashes of egos of litigating parents.

The Hague Convention

This chapter describes Swiss perspectives on the Hague Principles. Switzerland is a Contracting State to the Hague Convention of 15 June 1955 on the Law Applicable to International Sale of Goods. For contracts other than commercial sales, the applicable law is determined by the Swiss Federal Act on Private International Law (PILA). It covers jurisdiction, international civil procedure, applicable law, and the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. The Swiss PILA therefore constitutes an all-inclusive, comprehensive codification of private international law. For many issues, the rules contained with the PILA are already in conformity with those in the Hague Principles. Where the Hague Principles cover issues that have not yet been explicitly addressed by the PILA, such as choice of non-State rules in Article 3 of the Hague Principles, or conflicting choice of law clauses in standard forms in Article 6(1)(b) of the Hague Principles, the legislator may very well take the Hague Principles into consideration when amending the PILA. In fact, the Swiss legislator regularly takes inspiration from international and foreign law when amending the law or covering new issues.
