- High Court
Appeal allowed: the High Court found the Family Court correctly rejected the grave risk threshold but should have given greater weight to the child's sustained, reasonably grounded objection and the child's settled circumstances in New Zealand; exercising the discretion in light of the child's welfare and the limited certainty of future risk, the Court refused the return order and quashed the Family Court's return order.
