The application related to a mother’s request for access. The child in question lived in the United Kingdom with the father. The mother and another sibling lived in Panama.
On 4 November 2004 the High Court in London made a contact order in favour of the mother. To ensure that the terms of the order were complied with, and the child returned at the end of the period of visitation, the High Court stipulated that the terms of the order were to be registered by the Panamanian authorities.
In pursuance of this objective the Central Authority for England and Wales filed an access petition under Article 21 with the Panamanian authorities.
