Lawyer Christina Blacklaws said that "the general rule is that when one child is abducted in a Member State and taken to another, the origin country should continue to have jurisdiction on the child and the second should only have jurisdiction in very specific circumstances".
Juriste Christina Blacklaws norādīja, ka "Parasti ir tā, ka ja bērns ir nolaupīts dalībvalstī, un nogādāts uz citu, tas izcelsmes dalībvalstij arī turpmāk ir juridiskā kompetence attiecībā uz bērnu, un otrai jurisdikcija ir tikai ļoti īpašos apstākļos."
