The Court held that the Return Order unambiguously imposed a mandatory obligation on the defendant to return the minor to Hong Kong within the stipulated deadline; sequestration is in principle an appropriate means to secure the child’s return; consequently the first stage of the three-stage contempt test (construction) is satisfied and the application for leave to issue a writ of sequestration is adjourned for determination of compliance and state of mind at a substantive hearing.
