Public International Law - Hague Convention

. F. v. N.

In F. v. N. (SCC, 2022) the Supreme Court of Canada considered a child abduction by a parent from the UAE (not a Hague Convention signatory) to Ontario. The case bears heavily on the extra-provincial matters provisions of the Childrens Law Reform Act, and balances the dominant 'best interests' of the child doctrine against respect for foreign jurisdictions - particularly whether the cultural differences in foreign jurisdiction child protection law can be weighed towards best interests [para 49-98].
