    FCMC9325/2020

    Leave granted because the evidence established that it was in the child's best interests to study in the USA: the child clearly and consistently wished to do so, the social worker recommended it after thorough investigation, practical accommodation and financial support were in place, the mother's undertaking to care and return the child was credible, and the father's serious allegation of past fraud was unsubstantiated and unreasonable; accordingly the schooling plan was workable and preserved access.
