In Simpson v. Hamilton, although the Court of Appeal accepted that none of the grounds for not returning a child were made out, the Court still decided that the child should remain in New Zealand. In LRR v. COL, the Court of Appeal refused to order that the child be returned, after examining how the return would impact on the mother and, thereby, create an intolerable situation for the child. In both cases, the courts were determined to do what they thought was in the particular child's best interests. (Authors' introduction).
