Z (A Child : Hague Convention Application): FD 30 Jun 2020

Father’s application under the 1980 Hague Convention for the return of Z, age 3, to Australia. The mother resists that application on three grounds (i) Z was habitually resident in England at the time of any retention; (ii) the father acquiesced in Z’s retention in England; (iii) it would place Z at grave risk of physical or psychological harm, or in an otherwise intolerable situation, if the court were to require his return to Australia.
