Seymour and Seymour

In the matter of *Seymour and Seymour*, heard before Justice Fowler, the dispute concerned an application by the mother for an adjournment and an injunction restraining her from further action under the Hague Convention concerning the return of four children to the Irish Republic. The father sought particulars from the mother, and the mother sought to vacate a conciliation conference.

The court was required to determine whether to grant the mother's application for an adjournment and whether to grant an injunction preventing her from supporting the children's return to Ireland. Additionally, the court considered the father's request for particulars and the mother's application to vacate a conciliation conference.

Justice Fowler refused the mother's oral application for an adjournment and her application to vacate the conciliation conference. The court granted an injunction restraining the mother from taking further steps or providing support for the return of the children to the Irish Republic pending further order. Liberty was granted to the mother or the Australian Central Authority to apply to dissolve this injunction on 24 hours' notice. The mother was ordered to provide requested particulars to the father's solicitors by a specified date, with a copy to the Independent Children's Lawyer. The Independent Children's Lawyer was directed to send a copy of the orders to the Australian Central Authority. The father was ordered to provide a copy of his Financial Statement to the mother's solicitors by a specified date.
