The Court of Appeal heard cross-motions within an appeal concerning a child's return to Bangladesh.
The mother (appellant) sought to stay a lower court order for the child's return, arguing a pending refugee claim should preclude the order, and also requested initials and a publication ban.
The father (respondent) sought security for costs for the appeal.
The court dismissed the mother's stay motion, finding no evidence of merit to the refugee claim or irreparable harm, and that the child's best interests favored return to Bangladesh.
The court granted the mother's request for initials and a limited publication ban.
The father's motion for security for costs was dismissed, as it would impede access to justice.
