First off, I would again like to thank to the British politician John Hemming
MP, who notified me during the search for adequate solution in the case of Boor
on the possibility for the Slovak Republic to enter into the proceedings before
English courts as a third party. The judgment of Sir James Munby confirms that
such approach of the Slovak Republic was accurate. It is a challenge also for
the other countries claiming not to be able to help their citizens
facing separation of children from their parents without relevant reasons in the
United Kingdom, to intervening actively in a such proceedings before the family
courts. At the same time it is very important for the intervening country to
assess the cases also with regard to the ECHR case law. I remind that the PACE
on 30 November 2012 adopted a resolution where it stressed that the children
should be separated from their parents only in very exceptional circumstances.
The adoption of the resolution was based on a report by Christopher Chope
criticising the functioning of family courts e.g. in the United Kingdom. (http://assembly.coe.int/nw/xml/XRef/Xref-DocDetails-EN.asp?FileID=19190&lang=EN)"
