I think that you may find the attached document very useful. It is a Microsoft Word template for the complaints to the European Court of Justice. I know that few of you are working as we speak on such a document.
Here it is Wzór skargi do sądu w Strasburgu….
Renata Majewska in her article published by Rzeczypospolita talks about recently approved changes by the lower house of the Polish legislature (Sejm) to change the procedures in dealings with international child abductions.
