In this podcast we interview Clare Renton, a barrister practising in family law in 29 Bedford Row Chambers. The interview covers the practical issues arising in case management of disputes where there is a risk of child abduction or where it has already occurred. There is an introduction to the statutory framework of the area and the relevant domestic and European provisions, including Brussels II Revised and the Hague Convention.
This podcast provides advice to solicitors dealing with matters of jurisdiction, prevention of abduction and remedies as well as the appropriate steps to take depending on which party you are acting for.
