‘There was no longer a “rule” that where two parents had parental responsibility for a child neither could unilaterally change the child’s habitual residence. The correct approach was a factual inquiry tailored to the circumstances of an individual case. Where the issue related to removal of children to a country outside the EU, jurisdiction to determine an application for their return remained with the courts of England and Wales.’

‘To establish an offence of being concerned in supplying controlled drugs, it was necessary to prove that the defendant had participated in the enterprise of supplying controlled drugs to another and that he had knowledge of that enterprise. An arrangement to collect and transport drugs plainly came within the meaning of the word “supply” which was a broad term.’

‘Where a charitable trust held donations intended for other charities nominated by members of the public, and there was a shortfall between the funds held by the charitable trust and the donations, it was just and appropriate to treat the unpaid charities as participants in a common misfortune brought about by the management of the donation scheme. Those charities should bear that burden equally as to the distribution of the remaining funds.’
