Judicial activism: A 20-year evolution

In: Research Handbook on International Child Abduction

Author

Listed:
  • The Right Honourable Sir Matthew Thorpe

Abstract

As the number of Contracting States to the 1980 Hague Convention increased it became progressively more evident that its successful operation depended not only upon the role of the Central Authorities, but also upon the effective work of the judges hearing Convention cases. This chapter discusses the use of direct judicial communication in such cases and the development of international judicial networks – principally, the International Hague Network of Judges (IHNJ) from 1998 and, in so far as it operates independently, the European Network of Judges. Consideration is also given to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on judicial communication and collaboration.
