Minor – Removal outside jurisdiction. A father applied for the return of his children to Ireland, under the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction 1980. The mother, with whom they lived in the UK, objected on the ground that the father had allegedly been violent towards their nine-year-old son and she relied on his objection to being returned to Ireland. The Family Division, in dismissing the application, held that there were strong reasons to exercise the discretion not to order the return of the children to Ireland.
