A (A Child)

Tuesday 21 July 2026

This matter concerns an appeal by the mother against the refusal of her application to stay the enforcement of a child return order.

On 3 June 2026, the lower court made a Return Order directing that the child be returned to the United States of America. The appeal does not challenge the original Return Order itself. Rather, it concerns whether the court was correct to refuse the mother’s application to suspend the implementation of that Return Order pending further proceedings or appeal.
