The court found that the mother and child did not acquire the necessary degree of stability or integration in the USA by 8 October 2019; the mother's purpose in going to the USA on 30 June 2019 was temporary; therefore there was no wrongful retention under Article 3 and, alternatively, the 28 June 2019 Note evidenced consent under Article 13(a) so the return order was refused; the originating summons was dismissed.
