Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the federal constitutional complaint against a Hague return decision was admissible and whether the proceedings had been conducted with sufficient speed.
Decisione estratta
The complaint was admissible, but the Swiss authorities had acted with the required promptness; the delay complaint failed.
Motivazione estratta
Hague return proceedings are not civil litigation in the ordinary appellate sense; on the merits, the total duration before Swiss authorities was about seven months, and each instance decided within a short period while respecting the parties' hearing rights.
