1KBW on International Child Abduction is a guide to the practice and procedure in international child abduction proceedings, in particular applications under the 1980 Hague Convention. It provides guidance as to the law of England and Wales and relevant international law in child abduction cases, as well as the procedures for making applications in
the High Court and for pursuing appeals in the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court. It condenses a large body of case law and international instruments into a digestible format, so that practitioners have all the tools needed for day-to-day practice in one place.

- Flow charts to explain key legal principles and procedural steps, as well as diagrams which summarise important cases

- Chapters pertaining to the 1996 Hague Convention and applications under the inherent jurisdiction
- Practical guidance about the procedure for making applications in the High Court, such as: how to make urgent without notice applications; the criteria for obtaining different types of Tipstaff orders; and when to seek specific orders for disclosure to assist in tracing a child
