- High Court
Because the father was resident in India, had assumed day to day custody of the children and manifested no intention to comply with interim guardianship orders, the Court was empowered and obliged to order him to take all reasonable steps (including providing passport photos, collecting passports, booking flights and serving itineraries) to return the children to New Zealand to give effect to the interim orders; detailed arrangements for the mother's and Oranga Tamariki's assistance were unnecessary where agreement already existed and could be managed without further order.
