Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the child's removal was wrongful and whether return must be ordered under the Hague Child Abduction Convention.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The removal was wrongful, but return could not be decided without first checking whether the child would remain with the mother in France pending the custody proceedings.
Extrahierte Begründung
The child was very young and always cared for by the mother; separation from her would be intolerable. The cantonal court had to obtain French assurances that the mother could keep the child until the merits custody decision.
