    On the facts the court found that the Mother had relocated to the UK and there was sufficient degree of stability and integration in the social and family environment (visa, lease, utilities, NHS registration, substantial shipping, familial support and communications) such that both the Mother and the infant EMB were habitually resident in the United Kingdom immediately before 15 December 2017; therefore the Mother’s retention of EMB in Hong Kong on that date was wrongful under Article 3 of the Hague Convention.
