The Lady Carr of Walton-on-the-Hill, CJ handed down the judgment of the Court
The Lady Carr of Walton-on-the-Hill, CJ handed down the judgment of the Court:
Introduction
This appeal arises from an order of the President of the Family Division on 22 July 2025 by which he refused an application to set aside a return order that had been made on 5 November 2024 under the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction (‘the Hague Convention’). The question for this court is whether he was entitled to conclude that there had not been a fundamental change of circumstances which undermined the basis on which the return order was made.
