In re B (A Child) (Care Proceedings: Habitual Residence) [2013] EWCA Civ 1434; [2013] WLR (D) 461

‘Where a child was habitually resident in Sweden at the time when the courts of England and Wales were seised of care proceedings relating to the child, the fact that there were no extant proceedings relating to the child in Sweden did not prevent the Swedish courts having jurisdiction under article 8 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/2003.’
