Recognition
|
| |
124. (1) A measure taken in relation to an adult under the law of a Convention country other than the State is to be recognised in the State if it was taken on a ground mentioned in Chapter II (Jurisdiction) of the Convention.
|
| |
(2) The High Court or the court, as the case may be, may refuse recognition of a measure if it is of the view that—
|
| |
(a) the case in which the measure was taken was not urgent,
|
| |
(b) the adult was not given an opportunity to be heard, and
|
| |
(c) that omission amounted to a breach of natural justice.
|
| |
(3) The High Court or the court, as the case may be, may refuse to recognise a measure if it is of the view that—
|
| |
(a) recognition of the measure would be manifestly contrary to public policy,
|
| |
(b) the measure would be inconsistent with a mandatory provision of the law of the State, or
|
| |
(c) the measure is inconsistent with one subsequently taken, or recognised, in the State in relation to the adult.
|
| |
(4) The High Court or the court, as the case may be, may refuse recognition of a measure taken under the law of a Convention country other than the State in a matter to which Article 33 of the Convention applies if it is of the view that that Article has not been complied with in connection with that matter.
