The father's undertakings and proposed safeguards were demonstrably inadequate and unenforceable, the evidence showed a real risk of violence and that the father had influenced Mainland authorities resulting in the mother's detention, and practical enforcement against Mainland China is unreliable; accordingly the risk of non-return and harm to the children outweighed any benefit of the trip and the application to remove the children was refused.
