    Court of First Instance

    The Court had jurisdiction under s15 CACO because Hague-related proceedings had been commenced; the Mother's evidence gave reasonable grounds to believe the named relatives and close associates either held information as to the child's whereabouts or could reasonably obtain it from the Father; ex parte relief was justified by urgency and appropriate notice avenues were identified; accordingly a location order compelling specified disclosure within 24 hours and endorsing a penal notice was granted to facilitate the child's return and related proceedings.
