    SILVER v STRANG [2017] NZHC 942

    Citation
    [2017] NZHC 942
    Court
    High Court

    The appeal is dismissed: Judge Harrison correctly found no basis under the Family Court Rules to alter Judge McMeeken's earlier minute; deferral of any orders for shared care pending firm evidence of relocation was appropriate given uncertainty and the child's welfare; and the travel orders permitting limited annual UK trips (generally 28 days, 42 days in alternate Christmas years, emergency two-week trips) struck a proper balance between maintaining UK family ties and the child's schooling and best interests.
