On the balance of probabilities the High Court affirmed the Family Court's conclusion that the children acquired habitual residence in New Zealand by virtue of the parents' settled purpose to relocate in March 2017, evidenced by a 12-month lease, property inquiries, retention of the rental during a fortnight in Fiji, and conduct inconsistent with an intention to return to Fiji; accordingly the appeal was dismissed.
