The High Court has ordered the return of a child to Poland, finding that while allegations of grave risk were supported by evidence, the protective measures in Poland were deemed sufficient to mitigate such risks. The court also considered the child's objections to returning but questioned their independence, ultimately deciding in favour of return. The decision comes after a detailed examination of the child's circumstances and the effectiveness of legal protections available in Poland.
