Re CDG (A Child) (Article 13(b): Refugee Status and Safe Third Country) [2026] EWHC 2425 (Fam) 

The court ordered the return of CDG to Germany under the 1980 Hague Convention, notwithstanding the child’s refugee status in the UK. It held that refugee status does not create an absolute bar to removal to a safe third country, provided that the principle of non-refoulement is respected.
