• NM v SM (Rights in custody in foreign court; acquiescence by that court) [2017] EWHC 1294 (Fam)
  Application by the civil partner of the mother (the civil partner having no rights of custody to the child) to have the child returned to Ireland after the mother came to the UK with the child on holiday and then decided to stay indefinitely. The court refused to make the return order on the basis that the Irish court, which was dealing with the civil partner's application to become a guardian to the child, had not, at a previous hearing, ordered the child to remain in Ireland. This was not a case of wrongful removal and the court accepted undertakings from the mother that she would co-operate with the Irish proceedings. Judgment, 26/05/2017, free
