Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the child’s removal to Switzerland was unlawful under the Hague Convention
Extrahierter Entscheid
The removal was not shown to be unlawful because, under Spanish law, the mother alone exercised parental authority after the separation and thus had the relevant custodial power to determine the child's residence.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that Art. 156(5) CC Spanish law gave the mother sole exercise of parental authority after the parents’ separation; the father had not obtained joint authority or custody by judicial decision.
