In Courtroom 2 this morning is the expedited In the matter of A (Children), listed for 1.5 days in front of L Hale, L Wilson, L Sumption, L Reed and L Hughes. The appellant mother and first respondent father are British citizens. The child this matter concerns was born in Pakistan during a period of time the mother alleges she was pressurised in remaining in Pakistan against her will. The child, and the other three children of the couple (who were born in the UK) remain in Pakistan; and the mother, once back in the UK, made a wardship application in respect of the children. The Family Division of the High Court declared that all four children were habitually resident in England, made them Wards of the court, and required the first respondent to return them to the UK. The Court of Appeal allowed the appeal in respect of the youngest child on the basis that the child had never been physically present in England. The Supreme Court will determine whether the wardship jurisdiction of the High Court can be exercised in respect of a child who has never been physically present in the UK.
