    Family Court
    Case number
    FCJA2057/2016

    The mother's summons was dismissed because the existing detailed shared care order (made after trial) should not be varied on the basis of the then-public health situation which had since stabilised; a mandatory negative COVID test before hand-over was unnecessary and disproportionate given parental responsibility and protective measures; there was insufficient evidence of parental alienation to justify injunctive relief, and the court lacked jurisdiction to grant prohibitory relief against non-parties; accordingly the summons is dismissed and no order as to costs was made.

    LI IP MAN LUI v. THOMAS LI WANG CHUNG
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMC109/1966

    Grant leave for Theodore because the paramount consideration (welfare) favoured placement with his devoted mother in a stable Canadian household and the move was reasonably practicable, subject to Canadian immigration approval; refuse leave for Isadora because her stronger established ties in Hong Kong (father, brother, grandparents), her age and the status quo made removal not in her best interests.
