This rule applies where the court is contemplating the placement of a child in F2... another Contracting State under Article 33 of the 1996 Hague Convention, and proposes to send a request for consultation with or for the consent of the Central Authority or other authority having jurisdiction in the other State in relation to the contemplated placement.
In this rule, a reference to “the request” includes a reference to a report prepared for the purposes of Article 33 of the 1996 Hague Convention where the request is made under that Convention.
