Deirdre Fottrell QC, Daisy Hughes and Eleri Jones acted for Children and Familes Across Borders (CFAB) in the Supreme Court in the case of AR (Children) (Scotland) [2015] UKSC 35. The decision was handed down on 22nd May 2015.

The case concerned an application under the Hague Convention on Child Abduction and the court considered the relevance of parental intention to the question of habitual residence. CFAB intervened in the case to make written submissions given the importance of the decision for children and families relocating or moving from one jurisdiction to the other.
