Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellate court could deny the father's request to keep parental authority over the children after relocation.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appellate decision was set aside on this point and the case remitted for fresh fact-finding and a new decision.
Extrahierte Begründung
The lower court relied on an untenable legal basis, namely that the mother would otherwise commit a criminal offence and the father could seek return under the Hague Convention. That reasoning was wrong; the father had not shown the appellate court's broader factual assessment was made.
