The Danish court dismissed the case, determining that the matter must be heard in the Faroe Islands rather than Denmark. The plaintiff sought jurisdiction in Denmark for a parental authority dispute involving a child residing in the Faroe Islands, while the defendant argued for Faroese jurisdiction based on the child's habitual residence. The court ruled that under applicable international and regional rules, parental authority matters are exclusively within the competence of the courts of the child's habitual residence, which is the Faroe Islands.
