IS, a girl of 15 was a ward of the court in the UK, but also subject to orders from family courts in Israel. She faced an order from the Israeli court to return to Israel, but refused to do so. Her father lived in Israel, and she in England with her mother. An application was made for an anti-suit injunction as regards the UK wardship proceedings.
Held: The court emphasised the damaging nature of the conflicts between the courts in the UK, and rather than make an order sought the co-operation of the Israeli court in frnding a way froward.
