The court applied the paramountcy of the child’s best interests, found Shenzhen to be the child’s habitual residence and that the balance of evidence favored return to Mother; the child’s wishes were given limited weight due to his age and unreliable evidence and conduct by Father undermined his case. Consequently the court ordered return within 7 days, immediate surrender of travel documents and interim custody to Mother subject to her undertakings.
