Question juridique clé
Whether the French appellate judgment could be recognized under the Luxembourg Convention as concerning an unlawful removal of the child.
Solution extraite
No. The child had been transferred to the father pursuant to an enforceable judgment, so the removal was lawful and remained lawful despite later reversal on appeal.
Motifs extraits
A move made in execution of an enforceable custody judgment, voluntarily obeyed by the parties, is not rendered unlawful retroactively by a later appellate decision.
