- High Court
On fresh review this Court found the child objection defence under s106(1)(d) established for M and N with considerable weight to their views; acquiescence/consent under s106(1)(b)(ii) was not established for any child; the grave risk exception s106(1)(c)(ii) (return would place child in an intolerable situation) was established for all three children (M, N and S); applying the relevant principles and weighing Convention deterrence against the children's welfare the Court exercised its discretion to refuse an order for return of M, N and S to Australia.
