    Court of Appeal

    CAMP267/2023

    The Court of Appeal granted leave and allowed the mother's appeal because the judge materially erred in assessing the financial sustainability of the Mother's Dongguan plan (miscalculation of educational costs), undervalued the child's expressed views and misread the social work recommendation on status quo; balancing all factors the children's welfare is best served by granting care and control to the Mother and permitting permanent relocation to Dongguan, subject to defined access and a 12‑month supervision order.
