- Court of Appeal
The Court dismissed the appeal because the Family Court orders did not amount to unlawful detention of the children for purposes of the Habeas Corpus Act 2001 and habeas corpus was not the appropriate remedy where the appellant has an appeal and alternative remedies available; the Family Court had jurisdiction under s77 Care of Children Act 2004 to restrict removal of the children from New Zealand.
