FOURTH SECTION

Application no. 79482/17 Florian-Dinu TOIA against Romania lodged on 8 November 2017

SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE

The application concerns non-enforcement of court decisions setting the contact schedule between the applicant and his child. Following the couple ’ s divorce, the parents shared parental responsibility, the mother was awarded custody of the child, and the applicant was granted contact rights. According to the applicant, the authorities failed to properly respond to the mother ’ s opposition to the enforcement of his contact rights and to help him maintain his relationship with his child.

QUESTIONS TO THE PARTIES

Has there been a violation of the applicant ’ s right to respect for his family life, contrary to Article 8 of the Convention?

In particular, have the authorities (child protection authority, bailiff ’ s office, police, and domestic courts) provided sufficient assistance to the applicant for the enforcement of the domestic decisions granting him contact rights with his child: the decision no. 262/A/2010 of 20 September 2010 of the Bihor County Court as amended by the final decision no. 2457/2010-R of 15 December 2010 of the Oradea Court of Appeal (both decisions rendered in file no. 17943/271/2009)?
