The issue arose however of whether the court should exercise its power under art 15 of the Hague Child Abduction Convention 1980 and Council Regulation (EC) 2201/2003 (Brussels II Revised) to transfer the case to Poland. It was conceded that the first question arising under art 15 had been satisifey.

The court would therefore request the Polish court, to assume jurisdiction in accordance with art 15(5) of Brussels II Revised.
