HG (Abduction: Application to Set Aside Return Order) [2026] EWCA Civ 971

Appeal by the mother against the refusal of her application to set aside or stay an order for the summary return of her child to Texas, made when she was in the third trimester of a pregnancy, with two treating clinicians advising that she was unfit to fly. The Court of Appeal allowed the appeal, stayed the return order until after the birth, and remitted the set-aside application to be reheard.
