Summary
The applicant claimed for the readjustment of the rights of access which had been regulated by a Finnish court’s judgment. The German court stated that the Brussels IIa Regulation applied to the case as the application for a modification of the regulation on the rights of access concerned a proceeding of parental responsibility. The court discussed the scope of application of Brussels IIa thoroughly. It held that German courts had the international jurisdiction under Art 8 (1) as the child had his habitual residence in Germany. Art 9 (1) did not apply to the case as the time of three months had already been exceeded.
