A Spanish court had given the mother permission to remove the child to England and for contact. That order had been made final in Spain. The father now sought here to amend it, and to enforce the contact element.
Held: The Spanish proceedings had been concluded by the rejection of the father’s appeal in Spain. The convention allowed that further proceddings might be appropriate where children are concerned. However the father could still apply to enforce the order here or to apply within the UK’s own jurisdiction.
