K (A Child) (Stay of Return Order: Asylum Application) (Contact to a Parent in Self-Isolation) [2020] EWHC 2394 (Fam)

Mr Darren Howe QC, sitting as a Deputy High Court Judge granted a stay of a return order made in Hague Convention proceedings after an asylum application is made on behalf of the child and considered whether the father should be ordered to file a statement giving information about the grounds on which asylum is claimed. The judge also considered whether the Covid-19 regulations permit a parent subject to compulsory quarantine on arrival in the UK to have contact with the child.
