The decision concerns a Hague Convention application by Mr. Patel for the return of his children to Morocco after their removal to Canada by Ms. Hamdaoui.
The court found that the children were habitually resident in Morocco at the time of removal, that Mr. Patel had and was exercising rights of custody, and that no defences to return (consent/acquiescence or grave risk of harm) were established.
The court ordered the return of the children to Morocco and set out undertakings and directions for the parties.
