Wrongful retention was found to have commenced on 16 January 2017 but by the time proceedings were issued more than one year had elapsed and the child had become settled and habitually resident in Hong Kong; accordingly the Convention no longer mandated return and, applying discretion and having regard to the child’s welfare, return was refused and the originating summons dismissed.
