Summary
The applicant-mother moved with her child to Germany, and subsequently filed against the child’s father, an application for deprivation of parental authority. The court stated that it has no jurisdiction under Article 8 par. 1 of the Brussels II bis Regulation. Subsequently, according to Article 12 par. 3 of the Brussels II bis Regulation, the Polish court asked the father if he accepted the jurisdiction of the Polish courts and warned that no response would be treated as a lack of consent. The father did not reply. Given the above, the court stated that it had no jurisdiction under Article 12 par. 3 of the Brussels II bis Regulation, because the condition laid down in Article 12 par. 3 letter b had not been fulfilled.
