This paper summarises the findings of a legal study conducted within the framework of the multidisciplinary research project "EWELL – Enhancing the Well-being of Children in Cases of International Child Abduction". The legal study comprised two elements; a “quick scan” of national legislation on the child’s right to be heard in 28 European Union (EU) countries, and an in-depth analysis of case law from Belgium, France and the Netherlands focussing on the hearing of children in child abduction cases under the Hague Child Abduction Convention and the Brussels IIa Regulation. The case law analysis is the predominant focus of this paper. Where relevant, examples from the “quick scan” are provided to situate the findings within a wider European context.
