Re MN [2010] EWHC 1962 (Fam)

Articles Alexander Ruck Keene 17th October 2011

In Re MN [2010] EWHC 1962 (Fam), Mr Justice Hedley considered the approach the English Courts would take when considering whether to recognize, enforce and implement an Order of a Court of competent jurisdiction in California requiring the return of a person to that State. It is the first case in which the provisions of schedule 3, part 4 to the Mental Capacity Act 2005 have been considered and provides general guidance on the approach of the English Courts to issues of cross-border capacity falling within the scope of that Act.
