Tokens: Because
the
passage
of
time
here
retroactively
validated
the
actions
of
a
mother
who
for
years
obstinately
disregarded
any
court
decision
which
did
not
suit
her
,
in
the
end
the
legally
wrong
party
profited
from
her
own
wrongful
behaviour
.
This
goes
against
the
wisdom
of
a
Roman
Law
maxim
:
Quod
ab
initio
vitiosum
est
,
tractu
tempore
convalescere
non
potest
(
“
What
is
wrong
from
the
beginning
can
not
be
validated
by
passage
of
time
”
)
.
Of
course
,
the
passage
of
time
in
all
child
custody
cases
is
such
a
fact
–
which
can
,
in
the
end
,
determine
what
is
in
the
best
interests
of
the
child
.
This
is
the
reason
,
for
example
,
why
the
time
limits
in
the
Hague
Convention
on
the
Civil
Aspects
of
International
Child
Abduction
are
measured
in
weeks
,
not
in
months
,
let
alone
years
.
Since
it
is
in
the
arbitrary
power
of
a
parent
determined
to
disregard
the
decisions
of
the
courts
,
and
who
is
beatus
possidens
of
the
child
,
to
literally
generate
such
a
new
fact
,
that
is
,
a
new
minor
premise
in
the
syllogism
,
clearly
,
the
major
premise
called
“
the
best
interests
of
the
child
”
will
after
the
passage
of
years
yield
the
reverse
result
.
