Determination of where IM, now aged 92 years, is habitually resident. She is presently living in Ireland, having moved there in September 2018. Prior to that move, she had been resident in Kent for over 55 years. If, as the Applicant contended, IM remained habitually resident in this jurisdiction, then issues as to her health and welfare were matters for the Court of Protection. If she was now habitually resident in Ireland as both Respondents contended, then such matters would fall within the jurisdiction of the High Court in Ireland.
