SECOND SECTION

Application no. 45985/19 G.G . against Norway lodged on 23 August 2019

SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE

The application concerns child-welfare measures.

On 5 October 2018 the County Social Welfare Board ( fylkesnemnda for barnevern og sosiale saker ) decided to deprive the applicant of parental responsibilities in respect of her son, born in 2013, and to authorise the child ’ s adoption by his foster parents.

On 8 February 2019 the City Court ( tingrett ) upheld the decision.

On 10 May 2019 the High Court ( lagmannsrett ) refused the applicant leave to appeal against the City Court ’ s judgment.

On 18 June 2019 the Supreme Court Appeals Leave Committee ( Høyesteretts ankeutvalg ) dismissed the applicant ’ s appeal against the High Court ’ s decision.

Relying on Article 8 of the Convention, the applicant submits that the decision to deprive her of parental responsibilities in respect of her son and to authorise the child ’ s adoption entailed an unnecessary interference with her right to respect for family life.

QUESTION TO THE PARTIES

Has there been a violation of the applicant ’ s right to respect for her family life, contrary to Article 8 of the Convention? (See, for example, Strand Lobben and Others v. Norway [GC], no. 37283/13, 10 September 2019.)
