Facts of the case | The application concerns the domestic courts’ refusal to allow the applicant’s request for permission to move her and her child’s residence to Canada, where she argued she would be able to offer him better living conditions and better access to education. The applicant invoked Article 8 of the Convention, which safeguards the right to respect for family life. |
Analysis | the Court concludes that when refusing the request to allow the applicant to move to Canada with her son, the domestic courts struck a fair balance between the competing interests at stake, giving due weight to the best interests of the child, which they had duly identified and assessed, and they provided relevant and sufficient reasons for their decisions. |
