Hi Folks,
As I have already mentioned it before, the Polish legislature passed and the Polish President signed it – a new bill that changes current court order enforcement procedures as they pertain to the Hague Convention cases.
Here are some noteworthy points that are introduced with the new bill (DZ. U. 98, Oct. 12, 2001, poz.1069): Continue reading
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.

The article is in Polish only … sorry.

Hi everybody,
Today, July 11, 2001, the District Appeals Court in Gdansk overturned the decision of the first instance court in Gdansk, and ordered the returned of my two children Amelia and Daniel Szuta back to their home in California.
In its decision, the Appeals Court has pointed out that the Regional Court’s decision did not satisfy the Art. 13 requirements to prove that the return of the children to U.S. would cause them any harm. I have initialized a negotiation process for a quick return of the children to California. More news to come.
