Court
Court of Appeal
Practice Areas
A mother appealed against an order for the return of her child to Australia.
The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction 1980 applied to the retention in a non-Convention state of a child who was habitually resident in a Convention state.
