Re A (a Child) (Recognition of Nigerian Adoption: common law test) [2024] EWHC 2888 (Fam)

This judgment concerns the common law test for recognising a foreign adoption, which applies where the adoption takes place in a jurisdiction that is not a signatory to the 1993 Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption. The judgment also addresses ECHR considerations relevant to the recognition of foreign adoptions.
