Subsequent to return
If the Spanish court has ruled that Blossom must return and the judgment is executed, this means that Blossom returns to the place where she was habitually resident immediately before the wrongful retention in Spain by her mother.
Thus Blossom’s habitual residence is re-established and with it the jurisdiction of the courts of that Member State. The courts of the Netherlands (still) have jurisdiction to decide on matters of parental responsibility (see E-learning course, Thematic Unit 1, Part 1).
