The High Court dismissed the appeal, holding that the Family Court had properly applied relevant principles (including s5 Care of Children Act 2004), had reasonably evaluated credibility and the children's wishes, and had not misweighed continuity or whanau considerations to the extent that the decision was plainly wrong; the custody order allowing relocation to Queensland was therefore upheld, with timing of the move deferred until after 20 December to allow completion of the school year.
