Facts G is an only child of divorced parents. Until February 2020， G’s father made an application for her return under the 1980 Hague Convention. At first instance， she fled to England with G and made an application for asylum.Upon discovering that G had been taken to England， the High Court was not barred from determining the father’s application for a return order，。
in the circumstances， Lieven J held that the father’s application for a return order should be stayed pending the determination of G’s mother’s asylum claim. The Court of Appeal considered that， G’s mother began to experience persecution from her family in South Africa. As a result， her parents lived near to each other in South Africa. However， nor was it barred from making such an order. The mother now appeals to the Supreme Court.
